He argued in favour of the adoption of the 2012 US Magnitsky Act by European countries by way of partial solution. I beg to differ; here I explain why.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In my talk for the 'Imperialism on Trial: Free Julian Assange' speaker meeting of 8th September 2020 - the second day of Assange's extradition trial - I compare the relationship between the government and journalists revealed by the phone hacking scandal of 2005-14, and by the case of Julian Assange of 2010-20. I argue that the wrong journalists have escaped prosecution, and the wrong one is being subjected to it, and that the causes of Hacked Off and of freedom for Julian Assange support each other by demanding a distanced relationship between press and government, and access to justice for victims of press abuses.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One year after Julian Assange was removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy and transferred to Belmarsh Prison, and twelve days after the refusal of his application for health-related bail during the COVID-19 outbreak, seven journalists, politicians and academics argued from their virus-related lockdown for the urgency of his release - for the sake of his life and of democracy. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, on the verge of Lent and the second day of Julian Assange's extradition hearing, I again went to a church for political reasons: to hear speeches in Assange's defence and in denunciation of the inhumanity of his treatment and of derogations from the rule of law in his case. 

'Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God' 

[Matthew 5:9].

					<description><![CDATA[I here publish the International Jurists’ letter to British authorities in support of Julian Assange, which was send to its recipients and made public on 22nd February 2020. 

With Assange’s extradition hearings set to begin on February 24th, 2020, eminent jurists (actual and former judges, lawyers and legal academics) from around the world have written to Prime Minister Boris Johnson. They detail numerous violations of the law in the case of Assange, and urge the UK authorities to deny the US extradition request and to immediately release him.
