Summary

Kevin Gosztola is back to give an update on the appeal hearing against Julian Assange. Back in January, a UK judge ruled against Assange’s extradition to the U.S., citing his mental health. The U.S. government appealed that decision, leading to this hearing. Gosztola, who was able to watch, gives Scott an update on what arguments were presented. He then explains the numerous ways that, if he’s extradited, the U.S. could strip Assange of his basic liberties and isolate him from friends and family. After hearing the prosecution’s arguments, both are a bit optimistic about Assange’s chance of again avoiding extradition. But the decision is not expected to be known for weeks.   Discussed on the show: “Appeal Hearing: Prosecutor Attacks Judge's Decision, Which Blocked US From Extraditing Assange” (The Dissenter)  “Appeal Hearing: CIA's War On Assange, Their 'Most Prominent Critic,' Takes Center Stage” (The Dissenter) “Inside the CIA’s secret war plans against WikiLeaks” (Yahoo News)  Kevin Gosztola is managing editor of Shadowproof. He also produces and co-hosts the weekly podcast, “Unauthorized Disclosure.” Follow him on Twitter @kgosztola.
