Julian Assange to appear in court to appeal for release

[CHIMO]

Source: guardian.co.uk

The WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, will try to win his release from prison tomorrow, a week after being ordered to be held on remand as Sweden requested his arrest over allegations that he sexually assaulted two women.

But even if the judge at Westminster magistrates court in London grants Assange bail, he could still be held.

The Crown Prosecution Service, which will represent the Swedish authorities in the UK court, has the right to appeal against any bail decision. Usually the suspect would still be held in custody anyway until an appeal hearing.

Raj Joshi, a former head of the European and international division at the CPS, and an expert on extradition, said: "If they feel they have grounds for opposing bail, they would be duty bound to appeal that. He'll be held pending the appeal, and until it is decided. That hearing is usually held within 48 hours."

Civil Rights Attorney Lynne Stewart Resentenced to 10-Year Term—Nearly Five Times Her Original Sentence

The civil rights attorney Lynne Stewart’s sentence was increased Thursday after an appeals court ruled that two years and four months of prison time was too light. Stewart was found guilty in 2005 of distributing press releases on behalf of her jailed client Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, also known as the "Blind Sheikh." We play excerpts of Lynne Stewart’s last broadcast interview before she was jailed in November and speak to independent journalist Petra Bartosiewicz.

12. I am sorry

You are actually defending this women.

The Sheikh was under administrative orders that only his lawyer could talk to him BECAUSE HE IS A TERRORIST. She passed on information that the Sheikh wanted to pass out. SHE ADIDED AND ABBDED terrorism

This caught my mind from the article


Ms. Stewart made to the press after her first sentencing that she could do 28 months “standing on my head” and that she would do it all again. Those comments, the judge said, indicated “a lack of remorse” and that “the original sentence was not sufficient.”


This women like Manning can rot in jail

[glinda]

13. Afraid he will face immediate hand over and then face corrupt fixed trial and sentenced to life or

disappeared.
I trust no one at this point. Especially the political/Corporate entities.

[EFerrari]

and Julian is not alone.

power, we are very much alone.
