+Official launch of a film about the state torture on Assange, written, produced and directed by John Furse. A a film that will confound viewers just as the UN Special Rapporteur was confounded when he discovered the truth behind the headlines. This revelatory film shows how WikiLeaks founder Assange is a victim of prolonged psychological torture, an abuse of human rights and international law recognised and classified by the United Nations (UN).
+We discover how a sustained assault on his credibility as a journalist and publisher and a deliberate enterprise to break his psychological and physical health has developed.

+Julian Assange faces a full extradition hearing on the 24th of this month, in one of the most high profile cases of its type in British courts. If granted, the Wikileaks founder could face 18 indictment charges in the US, including those under the Espionage Act and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. If found guilty he could receive a potential prison sentence of 175 years.
+Public opinion has long been polarised about the best way to handle this case.
+As we approach the trial, important voices in journalism gather at the Frontline club to discuss freedom of speech. What is the United States aiming to do in this prosecution, and should the British government be assisting? What are the potential consequences for the future of press freedom?

 Leading journalists, attorneys, and human rights defenders will hold a panel discussion just weeks before the extradition trial of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who if sent to the United States would face the first ever charges of Espionage for the publication of truthful information in the public interest. If the Trump Administration can imprison a foreign publisher for life for exposing war crimes, what can't it do? And is the New York Times next? These esteemed speakers will consider these questions and what we can do to protect the First Amendment.
