The @DailyMailUK’s shameful regurgitation of 10 years of disproven slander against #JulianAssange comes at a rather interesting time.

1. There has been increasing reporting of the #AssangeCase, all positive and it Julian’s plight seems to be winning hearts and minds.

2. The @DailyMailUK might have come under political pressure after being at the forefront of the MSM in the reporting positive reporting of the #AssangeCase.

The political nature of the #AssangeCase does not make it inconceivable that at the highest levels the @DailyMailUK might have felt obligated to do a balancing act of its reporting of the case often often highlighting prosecution flaws, injustices & dangerous precedent being set.

4. Entering the final week of the case, the prosecution is struggling to make their case even with the obvious help from Judge Vanessa Baraitser. Every day of the hearing so far the public has seen that #Assange is being tortured in a UK prison for publishing war crimes.

In asking the defense how the outcome of the U.S. presidential election would affect its case and indicating that she had hoped to issue a ruling before election day, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser has acknowledged that this is a politically motivated prosecution.
#AssangeCase

This is the first battle of a long war that #JulianAssange will have to fight which could end in the ECHR in a few years or the US Supreme Court in many years. The longer it takes and the more irregularities that happen the more the public will understand the nature of this case.

Eventually #JulianAssange will be vindicated, & freed, & he will set the precedent that no journalist should ever fear publishing the vile war crimes: murder, rape, extrajudicial executions, torture, & corruption of a state and its military industrial complex.
#FreeJulianAssange!
