What has been happening to Assange is the very definition of complicity between two countries to jointly undermine accountability and freedom of speech.
Assange has been held since April 2019 in Belmarsh prison, which is what many call the United Kingdom’s version of our super-max prison. He has been held in solitary confinement for every moment of every day at Belmarsh while the U.S. makes an incredible effort to have him extradited to face charges of violating the Espionage Act. The U.K. courts have been all too obliging by issuing rulings, with no support in truth, that Assange can and should be extradited.
The U.S. has handled the U.K. legal system and government officials very astutely. The U.K. has believed the lies being championed by the U.S. ranging from characterizing Assange as a national security threat and spy to touting a safe and supportive environment Assange will face in U.S. prisons. Yet, the real purpose is to prosecute Assange under the Espionage Act for political and vengeful reasons. U.K. courts have found every reason not to challenge the merits of the U.S.
My goal with The Project for Accountability of the RootsAction Education Fund has been to shed light on government wrongdoings and illegalities as well as demand accountability from those in power. What is happening with Assange is government running amok over and through the law to reach those who would expose the truth. But who should such a call for accountability be directed to? Unfettered power infects from the top down.
