FEBRUARY 2024, LONDON: It is Feb. 21, the day after #DayX. It is the second and final day of a two-judge hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice that will determine whether US-UK politic"al prisoner and #WikiLeaks founder Julian #Assange can definitively appeal the decision to extradite him to the US, whose State and CIA officials plotted to kidnap and murder him for exposing their crimes. The 21st sees a larger, louder crowd assembled outside the court than Day X itself, all of them chanting and speaking out from morning to the close of proceedings for the immediate release of Assange.

STELLA ASSANGE: Before a crowd of Assange supporters who marched in the rain from London's High Court to Downing Street,  Stella Assange implores the assembled marchers to be there for Julian. "He's there for you."

Julian Assange is serving his sixth year without UK charge at London's high-security Belmarsh Prison, and faces extradition to the US for WikiLeaks' publication of that state's war crimes and malfeasance.

Assange has been incarcerated at Belmarsh since April 2019. He was dragged out of the Embassy of Ecuador by London's Metropolitan Police in violation of his asylum rights on April 11, 2019 and taken directly to Westminster Magistrates' Court, then to the prison, where he has languished ever since.

Charged with no crime in the UK, Assange is not serving a sentence. He has been imprisoned by UK authorities at the US's behest, in longterm solitary confinement and other verifiably torturous conditions (see "The Trial of Julian Assange," by former UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer).

More than 30 ex-CIA officials are on record admitting that the agency plotted to assassinate Assange during ex-head Mike Pompeo's tenure, when Assange was an asylee at London's Ecuadorian embassy.

Former UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, who green-lighted Assange's US extradition on June 17, 2022, hosted "good friend" Pompeo in London less than two weeks later.

Pompeo set the stage for the political and judicial persecution and smear campaign against Assange by the US, Swedish, Ecuadorian and UK authorities with his 2010 verbal rampage against WikiLeaks, a gaslighting exercise that facilitated the ongoing obfuscation of the countless US war crimes WikiLeaks exposed.
