US Is Trying to Crush Julian Assange to Deter Future Whistleblowers Says Geoffrey Robertson QC

By Afshin Rattansi On Aug 3, 2020 Last updated Aug 3, 2020

Going Underground speaks to world-renowned human rights lawyer of Doughty Street Chambers Geoffrey Robertson QC.

Robertson discusses the new indictments being brought by the US against Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange and why they have been brought at such a late stage, why the US is pushing so hard for his extradition to the United States and his belief that Julian Assange would get 50 years in prison if he is extradited to the United States.

Robertson also discusses alleged bugging of the Ecuadorean Embassy in London by the United States to spy on Julian Assange, Julian’s limited access to lawyers inside Belmarsh Prison and much more!
