Julian Assange's father and brother, John and Gabriel Shipton, speak out on his detention at a high-security prison in the UK and his extradition to the U.S. on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'
"Well, the national security DOJ are the ones who are behind this prosecution of Julian," he responded."I think if they would relook at this case and realize that they are prosecuting someone for doing what journalists do every day – publish.
Numerous news outlets, including the Guardian, the New York Times, Le Monde and Der Spiegel, wrote an open letter last year calling for the U.S. to end its prosecution of Assange over concerns about press freedom. LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 11: Supporters gather outside as the High Court hears a US appeal in the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, at Royal Courts of Justice, Chancery Lane on August 11, 2021 in London, England. Assange has been held in HMP Belmarsh since his conviction on May 1, 2019, for breaching bail conditions. Previously Judge Vanessa Baraitser denied his extradition to the United States citing him a"suicide risk".
Amnesty International, one of the largest human rights organizations, strongly condemned Assange’s possible extradition to the U.S. "Julian Assange’s publication of disclosed documents as part of his work with Wikileaks should not be punishable as this activity mirrors conduct that investigative journalists undertake regularly in their professional capacity," a press release from the organization read in part."Prosecuting Julian Assange on these charges could have a chilling effect on the right to freedom of expression, leading journalists to self-censor from fear of prosecution.
