Patrick Henningsen | Latest ruling gives a dark tint on the state of justice and the abrogation of international laws and treaties by the UK state.

UK judge Vanessa Baraitser justified CIA spying on Julian Assange by citing a falsehood-filled CNN report.

La justice britannique a rejeté lundi la demande d'extradition du fondateur de WikiLeaks Julian Assange vers les Etats-Unis, qui veulent le juger pour espionnage après la publication de centaines de milliers de documents confidentiels. "Terroriste high tech" ou héros traqué de la liberté d'informer, le fondateur de WikiLeaks Julian Assange, réclamé par les Etats-Unis qui veulent le juger pour espionnage, fait figure d'ardent défenseur de la transparence à tout prix, dont (...)
