juriste international<\/a>de tr\u00e8s grande valeur des conclusions de l’enqu\u00eate dont l’a charg\u00e9e l’ONU \u00e0 propos du r\u00e9gime de torture impos\u00e9 depuis des mois dans une prison britannique \u00e0 Julian Assange, en attendant sa tr\u00e8s-probable extradition par Sa Tr\u00e8s-Gracieuse vers les États-Unis.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nSi les États qui font cela sont des monstres froids, notre civilisation qui refuse de voir cela est un monstre puant. Un seul souhait est possible chez toute personne raisonnable, mesur\u00e9e et bienveillante : qu’elle cr\u00e8ve enfin, notre civilisation qui pue la charogne…<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

They doubtless would have published stories, warning in sombre tones of an assault on the media and insisting on the necessity to defend press freedom.<\/em><\/p>\n» Because Assange is being targeted by the US government and its allies, including Britain and Australia, for his role in revealing American war crimes, the establishment media simply did not show up.<\/em><\/p>\n» The press boycott is all the more striking given that even corporate publications have acknowledged that if Assange is extradited from Britain to the US, it will establish a precedent for journalists anywhere in the world to be hauled before US courts for the \u00ab\u00a0crime\u00a0\u00bb of publishing true and newsworthy information that the American government sought to conceal.<\/em><\/p>\n» The New York Times and the Washington Post, moreover, have noted that the 17 Espionage Act charges that have been levelled against Assange by the Trump administration pose a direct threat to the US Constitution’s press freedom protections, and could be used against other publications in the future—including their own<\/em>… »<\/p>\n<\/p>\nMis en ligne le 18 octobre 2019 \u00e0 11H26<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
