Julian Assange: Australian MPs call on UK to block US extradition

Boris Johnson should block attempts to extradite Julian Assange to the US, say two Australian MPs who visited the Wikileaks founder in prison, describing him afterwards as “a man under enormous pressure” and whose health and mental health had deteriorated.

George Christensen, a Liberal National MP for the ruling party in Australia told a press conference outside the gates of Belmarsh prison that he knew of information, which would come to light during the start of the extradition hearing next week, that would make people in Australia “sit up and worry”.

He said: “I think that now is the time that the government that I am a part of needs to be standing up and saying to the UK and the US: ‘Enough is enough leave that bloke alone and let him come home.”

Andrew Wilkie, an independent federal MP and the co-chair of the Bring Julian Assange Home parliamentary group, who joined Christensen in London, told a press conference in London on Tuesday morning that the extradition of Assange, who has been charged by the US with conspiring to hack into a secret Pentagon computer network, would set a dangerous precedent.

What are they worried about?

Black man kidnaps white woman, forces her to watch "Roots" to "understand her racism," vows to kill, dismember her if she moves

Robert Lee Noye, a black Iowa man, was arrested Monday after police say he kidnapped a white woman, held her against her will, and forced her to watch the nine-hour slavery miniseries "Roots" so she would "better understand her racism."

Noye, 52, forced the woman to "remain seated" with him at a Cedar Rapids residence while she watched the series. When she tried to move, Noye reportedly told her "he would kill her and spread her body parts across Interstate 380 on the way to Chicago" if she did not sit still.

Noye faces charges of first-degree harassment and false imprisonment.

That should do wonders for race relations!

Stone’s defense counsel, that rather inexplicably allowed her on the jury in the first place, filed a long-shot motion for a new trial. The judge, a thoroughly woke Obama appointee named Amy Berman Jackson, held a hearing this morning, ignored the motion, and scheduled sentencing for Thursday.
