Stefania Maurizi: Julian Assange’s health is being DESTROYED & EU stands up to US over Iran (E767)

On this episode of Going Underground, we speak to Stefania Maurizion on taking her four-year legal battle to access Assange’s extradition files to the UK upper tribunal, why this extradition case is a case against journalists everywhere, how Julian Assange’s health has been systematically ‘destroyed,’ and why the WikiLeaks co-founder can’t get a fair trial without full access to these files. Next, we speak to former Liberal Democrat MP Lembit Opik on the EU standing up to the US over Iran sanctions, the Israeli bombardment of Syria killing Syrian children, Boris Johnson’s backing of bankers, and the emerging threat of deep sea mining. Finally, we speak to award-winning director Philippe Faucon on his film ‘Amin,’ depicting the life of a Senegalese immigrant facing social dislocation, isolation and eventually love in France.
