Just printed my copy today of the #Assange 'Evidence Files'. Brilliant work @Plucille54 & Assange Defense Boston in compiling this. I'm suggesting it to the #DCSix as a good read for their long flight to Washington.

CIA torture whistleblower @JohnKiriakou reveals more about the #Assange plea deal. They wanted him to plead guilty to espionage originally, he says, but Julian wouldn't let that precedent be set for other journalists.

Australian Senator @janet_rice blasts Foreign Minister @MarisePayne for ignoring grave danger #Assange is in. "Minister Payne & this government refuse to recognise the desperate situation of #JulianAssange , even last week on Int. Human Rights Day."

UK just agreed to USA assurance that there would be no pre-trial detention for #Assange at ADX Colorado... which is a post-conviction establishment. The court was warned to be careful of the wording, but the defence had laid this deception bare. What's wrong with this picture?

The #AssangeCase #AskMeAnything showed Australians hungry for detail on what happened in the UK courtroom for a month to get the result they wanted: NO EXTRADITION - & then the 2 day US appeal, when #Assange had a stroke & the mental health grounds decision was overturned. I'll

We applaud Amnesty International for telling the UK to protect @JulianAssange from US extradition. Now we call on @amnestyOz to demand humane treatment. The least the UK could offer a political refugee is a safe return trip to the hospital. #Unity4J

The US has been granted limited right to appeal. They CAN'T appeal factual findings on #Assange 's health. Judge Baraitser was not convinced the US could prevent him from suiciding. She rejected Dr Nigel Blackwood's "w/ the right medication" aka McMurphy solution. Let him go Joe

Did you have any idea it was 2 journalists from @guardian , David Leigh & @lukeharding1968 , who first published the password to the un-redacted cables in their book: 'Wikileaks: Julian Assange's War on Secrecy' - risking #BloodonTheirHands - while @wikileaks still redacting them?

My courtroom account of how the US's hacking allegations against #Assange were tested & dismissed as unfeasible by the expert witness in the extradition hearing, former Forte Meade forensic examiner Patrick Eller. Shouldn't charges that don't even make sense be dropped @AlboMP ?

Latest news, via @CraigMurrayOrg , is that the review of the refusal to hear #Assange 's High Court appeal will last only 30 minutes. Since both prosecution & defence will speak, they will likely have 15 minutes each. Murray notes that Justice Swift who denied the appeal has: "an
