| | ====== USA vs. Assange - S02E02 - The Appeal Hearing (27-28th October 2021)====== |
| | |
| | Following a [[https://challengepower.info/usa_uk_vs._assange/usa_vs_assange-the_extradition_appeal?do=#preliminary_appeal_hearing_-_august_11th|preliminary appeal hearing]] at London's Royal Courts of Justice on August 11, the US government was finally granted permission to [[https://assangedefense.org/hearing-coverage/u-s-allowed-to-expand-scope-of-assange-appeal/|appeal the UK district court's verdict]] of [[https://challengepower.info/usa_uk_vs._assange/4th_jan_2021_-_extradition_verdict|no extradition]], on all of five grounds they had requested.\\ |
| | In this 'full' appeal, the prosecution will attempt to challenge the validity of the testimony of [[https://challengepower.info/witness_statements/assange_extradition_hearing_witness_statements?s[]=kopelman#michael_kopelman_forensic_psychiatrist_and_professor_of_neuropsychiatry_-_defense_medical_expert|Prof. Michael Kopelman]], the psychiatrist who assessed Julian Assange and determined that he, if facing extradition, would [[https://assangedefense.org/featured/judge-blocks-extradition-of-julian-assange-finding-that-abusive-u-s-prison-system-wouldnt-protect-him-from-suicide/|likely be driven to suicide]] - a testimony on which much of Judge Baraitser's no extradition verdict was hinging.\\ |
| | Another line of argument cited in the UK judge's decision were the extremely harsh prison conditions that would await Assange in the US. |
| | |
| | Will the US arrogantly determine him to be fit to stand trial - a 'fair' trial they assure us! - in a US secret court, and give vague assurances that he will not be disappeared in a (5) Supermax prison under [[https://www.amnesty.org/en/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/amr510402014en.pdf|Special Administrative Measures]]? |
