UK judges have denied Julian Assange’s request to file new evidence that the CIA plotted to kill Assange. But the same judges have allowed the US government to file new evidence to give assurances that Assange won’t face the death penalty so Assange can be extradited to the US.

That is not perceived bias by the UK judges, it is actual bias, and actual bias by judges is judicial corruption.

UK Judges decision 

The bottom line to the judgement is that the matter was adjourned until the 20th of May 2024. Julian Assange is seeking leave to appeal and if granted he can then have his appeal heard in full.

The UK judges have given the US Government have until the 16th of April to file assurances with the court. The SMH reports (27/3/24):

The court ruled that Assange could pursue his appeal at a full hearing, unless Washington provided “satisfactory assurances” on the questions of whether he would be able to rely on the First Amendment of the US Constitution which protects freedom of speech; that he would not be prejudiced at trial by reason of his nationality; and would not be subject to the death penalty.

“If assurances are not given then we will grant leave to appeal without a further hearing,” the court’s ruling said. “If assurances are given then we will give the parties an opportunity to make further submissions before we make a final decision on the application for leave to appeal.” (Click here to read more)

Julian Assange wife, Stella Assange was not happy with the judgment and spoke to the media immediately after the judgment as per the below video I published on Wednesday (27/3/24):

The first 2 pages of the judgment (summary) that were posted on Twitter are below:

As Stella Assange said in the first video, the UK judges didn’t allow the new evidence of the CIA plot to kill Julian Assange because if they did it would have meant they can’t allow Assange to be extradited. Also if the judges allowed the new evidence it would have forced the US government to respond to the evidence of the CIA plot which would have bene very embarrassing for the US and UK governments.

The Conversation reports (26/3/24):

Today’s judgement opens the door to a full appeal. Dates for hearing will be set, but the appeal will probably be heard later this year. If the appeal succeeds, the extradition process would be over. At that point, Assange would be released from Belmarsh prison and probably deported to Australia.

If the appeal fails, he could seek leave to appeal to the UK Supreme Court. If leave is denied or a further appeal fails, he would at that stage have exhausted all possible remedies in the UK.

US Marshals will likely seek to remove Assange to the United States as soon as possible after he exhausts his UK recourses. To prevent that, his legal team will make an application to the European Court of Human Rights. Assange’s lawyers applied to the European Court of Human Rights in 2022, but the application was declared inadmissible without published reasons on December 13 2022, probably because he had not yet exhausted potential remedies in the UK.

Truthout reports (27/3/24):

The Obama administration, which prosecuted more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all prior U.S. administrations combined, considered prosecuting Assange, but feared it would violate the First Amendment. The administration was unable to distinguish what WikiLeaks did from what The New York Times and The Guardian did since they also published documents that Chelsea Manning had leaked.

But the Trump administration did indict Julian Assange. The U.K. arrested Assange and has held him in Belmarsh Prison for nearly five years pending a decision on whether he should be extradited to the U.S. to stand trial.

and:

Although the United States has reneged on nearly identical assurances in the past, the High Court accepted them at face value, saying it was satisfied that the U.S. was acting in good faith, and in December 2021, the High Court reversed Judge Baraitser’s denial of extradition.

However, in a 2023 decision, the U.K. Supreme Court unanimously held that the court has an independent duty to determine the validity of assurances, writing, “The government’s assessment of whether there is such a risk is an important element of that evidence, but the court is bound to consider the question in the light of the evidence as a whole and to reach its own conclusion.”

and:

On December 13, 2023, House Resolution 934 was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Paul A. Gosar (R-Arizona), with cosponsors from both political parties. It would express “the sense of the House of Representatives that regular journalistic activities are protected under the First Amendment, and that the United States ought to drop all charges against and attempts to extradite Julian Assange.” The resolution states that the WikiLeaks disclosures “promoted public transparency through the exposure of the hiring of child prostitutes by Defence Department contractors, friendly fire incidents, human rights abuses, civilian killings, and United States use of psychological warfare.” (Click here to read more)

Will the Presidential election save Julian Assange?

The 2024 United States presidential election will be held on the 5th of November 2024 and that might be the best hope for Julian Assange to get his freedom.

I doubt very much that keeping Julian Assange locked up is vote winner for President Biden so he should let him go and focus his energy on trying to win the election.

President Joe Biden should order his government to refuse to give the above-mentioned assurances to the UK courts. That would almost certainly mean that Julian Assange would win his appeal, be set free and that would be the end of it as far as Biden’s re-election campaign is concerned.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese should also be doing everything he can to get Julian Assange free because the next federal election is only about 12 months away and the last thing the government needs is another issue that will cost them votes.
