https://open.lbry.com/@NaomiBrockwell:4/FULL-assange-story:c
Today the UK announced the Julian Assange has won the right to appeal his extradition to the USA.
Assange's brother, Gabriel Shipton, reveals the full story of government corruption, assassination attempts, and why this case sets the most dangerous precedent for freedom of the press of our lifetime.
"The national security state doesn't want its secrets exposed. They're using the espionage act to clamp down on publishers. They're afraid of leaks. They're afraid of being surveilled. ... Julian turned the lens of surveillance back around onto them. ... They want Julian dead. ... There's a worldwide movement of people who see this case for what it is. It's the criminalization of telling the truth - the criminalization of journalism. ... He's my hero actually. But he's also my brother."
