John Pilger: Assange’s only crimes are telling the truth & making war criminals look in the mirror! (E929)

Legendary journalist and filmmaker John Pilger discusses the extradition trial of Julian Assange being held at the Old Bailey in London, the war crimes Julian Assange uncovered, why the US wants to persecute him, key statements delivered in court by witnesses that may help the WikiLeaks founder, allegations of bias against Judge Baraitser, the grueling schedule Assange has to go through for court hearings, the likelihood of Assange committing suicide if he is jailed in a supermax prison, which John Pilger describes as a ‘clean hell’, the role of mainstream media outlets such as the Guardian in facilitating his persecution, and more.
