Endless ordeal (a very unpleasant or difficult experience)<\/strong>: On extradition of Julian Assange<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Assange should not be tried (to examine a person accused of committing a crime in a law court by asking them questions and considering known facts, and then decide if they are guilty) <\/strong>for exposing abuse of power, and must walk free<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ruling by the High Court in London that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, currently in a British prison, can be extradited to the U.S., where he is facing charges under the Espionage Act, is a blow (An unpleasant or disappointing surprise) <\/strong>to all those who believe in press freedom. A lower court had earlier this year rejected the U.S. request for extradition (The surrender of an accused or convicted person by one state or country to another (usually under the provisions of a statute or treaty))<\/strong>, citing his mental health. His lawyers and doctors had argued that he might be driven to suicide by American jail conditions. But the High Court, after receiving some assurances from the U.S. authorities that Mr. Assange would not be held in restrictive prison conditions (based on his conduct), decided to allow the extradition. The U.S. accuses him of conspiring to hack into defence databases to get sensitive unclassified information. The leaks, the U.S. says, put lives at risk. If convicted, Mr. Assange, 50, could face up to 175 years in jail. His legal team will now appeal and the legal process could drag on for years. But these cases have already put him in one or the other form of confinement for years. He took refuge (to go to or into a place for shelter or protection from danger or trouble)<\/strong> in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London in 2012 while facing a probe (An inquiry into unfamiliar or questionable activities) <\/strong>on accusations of sexual assault in Sweden, which were later dropped. In 2019, after his arrest from the Embassy, he was jailed for 50 weeks in the U.K. for breaching his bail conditions. He is now in London\u2019s Belmarsh prison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The documents WikiLeaks released on the Iraq and Afghan wars, which were published by almost all media houses, exposed official crimes and cover-ups (Concealment that attempts to prevent something scandalous from becoming public)<\/strong>. Any responsible, democratic government should have taken action against those who committed those crimes. Instead, the U.S. government went after the publisher. The Trump administration unsealed the indictment (A formal document written for a prosecuting attorney charging a person with some offence) <\/strong>against Mr. Assange for violating the Espionage Act, a First World War-era law, after his 2019 arrest. The U.S. government argued that he was not a journalist. But beyond the definition of journalism, what the U.S. tried to do was to use a controversial law to punish someone who published unpleasant truths about powerful entities. If he is extradited and convicted, it would set a bad precedent (set a precedent means to decide something that will be used as an example or rule to be followed in the future) <\/strong>for press freedom and investigative journalism, raising questions about the protection the First Amendment offers to the press. It is ironic that the administration of President Joseph Biden, who convened a global \u201cSummit for Democracy\u201d last week and emphasised the role of free press, is following Mr. Trump\u2019s policies in pursuing Mr. Assange. If the U.S. and the U.K., among the world\u2019s oldest democracies, are serious about their proclaimed (Declared publicly; made widely known) <\/strong>commitment to press freedom, they should take steps to set Mr. Assange free. The ordeal the \u201cfree world\u201d has put this man in for exposing abuses of power has taken away years from his life and affected his health. This should not go on forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
