- As the world commemorates Press Freedom Day, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange remains detained in a high-security prison in the United Kingdom while the United States fights for his extradition.
Assange faces 17 Espionage Act charges and a charge of conspiracy to commit computer intrusion for publishing about 400,000 classified US military documents exposing potential US war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
So what would Assange's prosecution mean for press freedom?
This week on UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill talks to lawyer and director of the Whistleblower and Source Protection Program at ExposeFacts, Jesselyn Radack.
Free Assange now!!
Free Assange! Freedom for the Press! Protect Journalists! Jail the war criminals!
He was mot a journalist he was a programmer. with a huge ego.. he is gonna pay for putting innocent people at risk. He cost us tax payers millions. And also almost started a world war
Free Assange.
This man is a hero. Helping humanity to remain sane by the truth.
Truth is the sanity of humanity.
yes it is against free journalism
Free❤Assange❤
Free Assange!
The authoritarian crusade to secure Assange has seen a vindictive pursuit to punish, so no matter the very bright spotlight he shone on wrongdoing, the red faces it caused want retribution. The intention is ongoing, because he has to be sacrificed as an example to all other journalists or individuals wanting to tell of bad things that happen by those we are supposed to trust. It really is an example of Us and Them, us who are not to ask questions and shame bad people, and them who are determined to make sure we know our place, with, as in Assange's case, the expectation of punishment if we do.
all.of that writing useless because assange was never a journalist
Absolutely & the West in Not Democracy. Its all / was Fallacy.
Led by Oligarchy indeed.
Nevermind all the lecturing, esp to the Global South.
9:24 again the double standards of US. To be an enemy of US is dangerous but to be a friend of US is fatal
friend of the us what? when the world needs aid they always call on the us. what a joke
@@Quantolosophy maybe your fellows from the west. US have never helped anyone without taking more than it gave. That's not the definition of help. That's biased transaction.
@@SV_astro the tyrants of all gov did it while the coward people indulged in their fear or maybe their consumerism. Always blame the west lol.... its funny to me this civilization is lost. And i suppose sticking for archaic non productive ideology is also a bias? speak to me from a human perspective not a religious or racist one.
@@Quantolosophygiving ain't for Loyalty?
It's Bribery Redefined.
@@rahmaabdijama7844 excuse me did you put this in google translate? DO YOU KNOW WHAT ASSANGE DID.... LOL giving loyalty the only loyalty he has is to his ego. And bribery? this is why some things are classified. War isnt pretty why dont you take accountability for those tyrants that got their people killed. Assange ww3 mission failed miserably. Fail to his cult
He did nothing the US hasn’t done repeatedly!
Upfront 🙌🏾 my fave
No question. It would be the proverbial final straw precedent. Hold the door.
MY SUNRISE ON THE DARKEST DAY! 🇵🇸
Sadly I doubt a trial will be public.
I suspect AJ only allows comments on videos it believes comments will be agreeable to it, is this not the case?
yep it is why am answering to many comments. Assange is a fraud and those that defending are too.
FREE ASSANGE.
LET HIM DO HIS TIME
If It Was China Or Russia
whatever all super powers do it.. typical ignorant human dividing the world. pathethic
America calls it "Liberation" instead of "Invasion". That was what US call it in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and the list goes on... Why the double standard? Confused... Please enlighten. Genuine question...

Your list, and question, is proof positive that the US is illiterate in the foreign policy field. They just can't do it. They drift in and out of America Firstism and then invade someone or other, thinking that because they have the bigger bombs, they cannot fail to win.
All with the name of liberation, humanity, democracy…… isn’t it ironic??
@@mohammadmatin8030right because you know human rights.
Julian a journalist lmao what a joke
Lock him up
Who?
Biden?
Why?
He's already locked up. Are a bit thick, or very thick?
YAS! we were there live watching this fool and his ego rat him out lmao
Free Assange now!
Israel will never allow that to happen.
@@chutindrachodi4764israel? no none of us want him free. By the way how is palestine and the oppression against their people? I suppose the Palestinian gov has nothing to do with anything do they. Funny the arbas didnt want them or egypt or lebanon but israel gives them a place.
@@Quantolosophy
Sir. We hate Arab nations and Israel too. Arab Saudi, Qatar and UAE living luxury and bombing Yemen, Iran and Palestine with US and Israel everyday.
