"This Is A Case Of Oppression" Says Director Of Julian Assange Documentary
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 сен 2024
- Julian Assange is facing a second day in the High Court as part of long-standing battle against extradition to the US, where he is accused of leaking confidential military secrets.
He was unable to attend the first day of the hearing as his barrister told the court was too unwell.
The WikiLeaks founder is wanted by US authorities over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information following the publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Lawyers for the 52-year-old argued that if extradited, he would face a “flagrant denial of justice” by prejudiced judges, and was being prosecuted for an “ordinary journalistic practice”.
TalkTV's Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by director of the documentary about Assange called 'The Trust Fall', Kym Staton, to discuss his final bid to fight extradition to the US.

As an American I called my senator yesterday to plead for his release.
Why
@@makhorubhiyo4053For liberty and the freedom of the press.
For journalistic integrity, for justice, basic humanity and the fact he is not even American, but is rather Australian. He is on the right side of history.
Thanks my senator don’t answer any any calls since he come the office 😢
Agree
Free Julian Assange no Extradition.💔😢💔😢💔😢🙏🙏🙏
i agree..if we hand him over it will be a tragedy
And they have the nerve to bang on about Navalny while Assange is still imprisoned
Julian is at least still alive -- poor Navalny murdered !
Hes a Traitor, deserves all the time in Jail.
@@lynndillerstone2616The US had plans to have him killed. Don't hide from the blatant hypocrisy here.
@@lynndillerstone2616you have no idea what happened.. and since when did you care about him anyway.. truly pathetic
iwoz. Maybe China think you are a traitor?
What gets me about this case that is almost never mentioned is. Why dont they actually go after the people who committed and eas behind the war crimes like they are Julian?
Because the war crimes should’ve never been exposed???? Are you that dense? If he had never of exposed the videos then their war crimes would be unknown. It’s not fair to prosecute someone on evidence that we only have access to because of a traitor
@@L333gok You clearly don't know what a traitor is. He is not a traitor. He is an Australian journalist who exposed the crimes on the American government. This is like saying an American journalist is a traitor for reporting the evidence of war crimes by Iran. It makes no sense.
And ahh yes "the war crimes shouldn't of been exposed" great justifaction right there 🙄 a expose a criminal and you are the criminal.
@@L333gokWow! You really just said that? Oh my goodness 😂
@@lukemurray4950I know right? I can’t believe some of the comments here can you? No wonder the world is heading this way
Good point
Truth tellers are called criminals and criminals are called politicians! js
Well said.
This is a warning to us all 😮we can lock you up anytime, like it says in the online harms bill 😮
Kym directed amazing documentary that everyone should watch. Thank you.
Please free Julian Assange!
Good at interrupting... Painful to the ears.
Free Julian Assange.
Please, please, please, Julia, stop interrupting!! Your viewers actually WANT to hear what other people have to say, so let them have their say. You do this all the time, and it is irritating in the extreme. Also, you come across as being for Julian's extradition. As a journalist yourself, I find that absolutely shocking. Be careful - your integrity is under question here. Julian should not be extradited and should be freed. He has done nothing wrong.
You took the words right out of my mouth. I wanted to hear from the guest, not the venomous JHB....
She wasnt as bad here as in some other interviews. Also, the outrage against her might in fact give this video more views. Well done Kym Staton!
@@ExpressStaveNotation Yes, well done Kym.
Thanks for confirmation I'm not being hypersensitive 😉
TALK tv= LIE tv
Free Julian Assange
Defund U.S. corporations if Julian Assange is not freed. 💛🙏
She’s a so called journalist,she should be defending Julian !
That's a bit of a simplistic way of looking at it, isn't it?
@@nightowl7459It's the only way to look at it. It's a journalist being locked up and threatened with extradition all because he exposed the war crimes of a government. If it can happen to him it can happen to any journalist.
Yes, she was beligerant and interested in putting forth her own wrong views instead of letting the interviewer speak
@@lukemurray4950 So if a journalist leaked national secrets that could put others in danger, it would be okay? I have nothing against Assange, but he allegedly leaked the British National Party members names and addresses, we start going on unsafe grounds when that happens.
@@nightowl7459 You comment shows you know nothing about this case and just make things up. Firstly he is Australian and doesn't work for ANY government organisations. He is a journalist and founder of Wikileaks a private company. The fact we have to start here is shocking.
Secondly, he did not leak any British National Party members information as it has not been a political party for a decade and has nothing to do with this case. He is not even accused of committing any crime against the United Kingdom. His case here in the UK is weather or not he should be sent to America to face trial there.
Thirdly he never released any information that would put anyone in danger as the guy making this documentary pointed out in this interview because he painstakingly went through and redacted all the names and information that would of. Also the proof of this is that not a single person has come to harm since the leak had happened. It's a lie pushed to justify what is happening to him.
And finally, if you want to make this a crime then every US or British journalist who has reported on the war crimes of Russia, China, Iran or any nation in the world should be found guilty and sent to those respective countries. This is the pure insanity of your argument. The very proof this is all because the US got caught committing war crimes and not about the safety of people is that they have never prosecuted those behind the ear crimes and instead are only going after those who exposed them. This is a very simple case.
Flagrant political persecution. Journalism is NOT a crime.
On Australian news sites, plenty of Taylor Swift news, nothing on Assange.
Liberdade para Assange
Yes, this is a disgrace.
So why aren’t the guardian staff where Julian is ?
Julian’s question is the fundamental point. It would be like Saudi Arabia wanting extradition of an Italian in Britain for selling alcohol
Or China for someone criticizing Winnie the Pu. Or Russia for someone calling out an illegal war.
Free Julian which would be fair, just and fundamentally right
Well said Kym👏👏💕💕
They need to free assange no charges .
You all have the nerve to go ona bout Navalny dying in USSR but what about Gonzola in UKR who died? This is no different with Julian, locked up for speaking the truth and publishing documents. Disgusting this govt has allowed this to go this far.
Gonzola in UKR? Who do you mean?
@@ExpressStaveNotationGonzalo Lira
@@ExpressStaveNotation Gonzalo Lira, a jorno in prison in UKR, tortured, starved etc eventually died in there last year. Look him up, the MSM doesn't want the public to know these things
@@TwistedTiaraYes I looked him up thanks. Seemed to be pro-russia anti-feminist etc.
Its an embarrassment to America and UK Governments because they have been caught red-handed.
Correct
Is the interviewer forgetting yes Chelsea was charged but she was also PARDONED
Do they _really_ think Julian is not going to be an even bigger influence if they do their best to make him die?
UK fascism will never be forgotten
She doesn’t know that Julian had a mini-stroke in 2021.
Glad he corrected her on the myth of not redacting.And what rubbish that he was unlikeable. That was a smear campaign pure and simple. How naive do you need to be.
Free julian assange.
Julia just can't help herself being a journalist first & a moral humanitarian second. Shame on her.
She's no journalist, just a well paid corporate owned establishment puppet.
Lying isn't journalism
I disagree. He is a very sympathetic figure. He was portrayed as unsympathetic but he's intelligent and charismatic and brave. It is you the Media who did the State's bidding and made him look like a fringe figure, a mere hacker. Now, 10 and more years on YOUR hypocrisy has become evident to us all
Well said!
Yes!
Can this lady let the guests speak? Jeeeezzz!!!!
Is this the price you pay for telling the truth ..😂😂😂
Yes, if it’s the truth about the US !
Este es un delito de persecución política y opresión humana contrario a todos los derechos humanos .Liberen a Julián ASSANGE no más daño a su persona .
Bye Bye Julian
Can kiss your own freedom goodbye too. This man is taking a hit for the rest of us.
Assange did not put lives at risk. The unredacted files were first published by US based organisation Criptome because of a guardian journalist publishing clues to the password of the encrypted file. There was also no hacking as Chelsea Manning did not need to hack the files at all. The US prosecution case is weak at best but when they get him to the secret Espionage Court in Virginia where the jury pool is made up of military and CIA personnel, they won't need a strong case and routine journalism will be effectively criminalised under the US Espionage Act. Not only in the USA but world wide due to the precedent of extraterritorial reach. Fight this with everything you have is you care about democracy and a rules-based order.
Probably a bot anyway. Has one of those bot user names.@@lisac1619
4:00 Kym says Assange redacted names but Guardian was reckless 7:28 Assange had a hidden razor blade in case of extradition
I do not have a baby. I have for adult children all with red hair. I am concerned for their welfare and only there welfare. Julian worked for intelligence and leave the papers. This is a lot different than a woman figuring out a crime and one save her children. That's about it!
Julia, the interviewer, should be standing up for her fellow journalist, Assange, being held in an awful prison with very different and dangerous -type criminals to the point of his ill health, as well. She says he is unlikeable, but we could say the same thing about her. Does she see the irony?
I have often heard people say that Julian is not likeable. So, I went back and listened to interviews by him and with him with other people. He is quite funny in a laconic, Australian manner. He is irreverent to authority, again in an Australian manner. But his humanity and empathy shine through. I think he is extremely likeable, and I wonder if the impression is because of the smears and lies we have heard over the years to destroy his character.
@@karynh11 Yes, I felt that too, and thank you for saying so. His wife certainly seems nice and very sane and patient as she can be, as well. I heard her speak on Redacted.
Свиње сестројебне, ослободите мученика
It’s back on
Simple deportation and save taxpayers money
If the UK gov wasn't a lapdog to the US, if they had simply rejected the US's preposterous and illegal reeuest for extradition, no money would have been spent at all.
No. Simply release and save the taxpayers money.
Actually, that’s a good idea. Not to the US, but back to his own country. Then the Aussies can sort it out. But would they send him straight to the US?
I hate this woman. She spreads lies about Julian Assange. "He's not likable"😂 is she talking about herself? Because she's a very unlikable person.
I don't like Julian Assange either... I love him! ❤❤❤❤
I was mind blown when she said that. I mean - really???
Can’t hear it’s frozen?
Great doco.
Kym is also a legend.
Better say psicologicTORURE
Gosh Well said Julia.

The Interviewer here is NOT a very likable person!
Why did Julian not do this in America....
Do you really have to ask?
