The US-UK Extradition Treaty - Should it be Replaced?
Channel: Consortium News
Date: 2020-05-09

For those about to watch the replay of this live event, Consortium News would like to correct an important factual error. Chelsea Manning was released from prison on March 13th 2020 with fines of $256,000 (for not testifying) maintained. This came the day after another suicide attempt and her hospitalisation, but concluded cheerfully with supporters raising more than enough money to pay the fines. Wikileaks tweeted: 
@wikileaks · Mar 13
BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the release of Chelsea Manning: "the court finds Ms. Manning's appearance before the Grand Jury is no longer needed, in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive purpose."

The Treaty under which the United States is seeking to extradite Julian Assange has been widely condemned, even by Boris Johnson, as unbalanced. Some 200 UK citizens have been extradited from Britain to the US. Only 11 Americans have been extradited to the UK. Our panel will ask if the Extradition Treaty is fit for purpose.

On the panel will be David Davis MP and Radd Seiger, legal advisor for Harry Dunn family. Moderated by Helena Kennedy QC.
