In a New Year's Day special broadcast, we air highlights from the Belmarsh Tribunal held last month in Washington, D.C., where journalists, lawyers, activists and other expert witnesses made the case to free Julian Assange from prison in the United Kingdom. The WikiLeaks founder has been jailed at London's Belmarsh Prison since 2019 awaiting possible extradition to the United States on espionage charges for publishing documents that revealed U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Rights groups say the charges threaten freedom of the press and put a chilling effect on the work of investigative journalists who expose government secrets.
The Belmarsh Tribunal — inspired by the Russell-Sartre Tribunals of the Vietnam War — has been convened several times in the U.S., Europe and beyond to press for Assange's release. The December proceedings were co-chaired by Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and The Intercept's Ryan Grim.
