7:03 pm
a british prison, but now he is in a u. s. territory about to go into a federal court and we're told this will bring a conclusion to his captivity and the ongoing legal questions facing his situation . now, throughout the 14 years that julian a sanchez been wanted by us law enforcement, he's received a lot of international support. here's some of the support and some of what those who was the board of upset over the years. 12 years on, i'm visiting children in a high security prison, but this, this period of our lives, i'm confident now has come to an end. and i think that by this time, next week join will be free. the cost of julia and of course, has been to get the price of $3.00 the for all these years in the bathroom, for journalistic freedom. freedom to publish the foundation of democracy.
7:04 pm
throughout the years of julian's imprisonment and persecution, incredible movement has been formed. a movement of people from all walks of life from around the world who supports not just join and not just us in our family, but what to him stands for truth and justice. now julia sanchez, the founder wiki leaks revealed all kinds of classified us diplomatic tables that were provided to him by leakers. he also revealed us war crimes and afghanistan and iraq. and he revealed that the democratic national committee was rigging its primary against bernie sanders to make sure that hillary clinton was it's 2016 nominating now. he made all of that available to the public with the website which he leeks, other people uh, provided him with this information. uh, and as a result of that he has been facing extradition and threats from us officials for quite some time. now keep in mind, julian hassan is not an american citizen,
7:05 pm
he's in australia and none of the activities he's been charged with even took place on us territory. but many are looking on today. and the fact that he's about to go into a federal court and plead guilty and become a felon and be sentenced to prison time. that will then be given credit for the time he's spent in britain. many of you, this is not a victory, but rather almost accepting defeat, creating potentially a legal precedent to harm other journalists who may publish things that the government doesn't want to be revealed. this is what was said by robert kennedy, who is a candidate for president the nephew of us present john f. kennedy. here's what he said about today's advance. the bad news is that he has to plead guilty to conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense info, which means the us security states succeeded in criminalizing journalism at extending the jurisdiction globally to norm citizens. julian had to take this. he has heart problems and he would have died in prison,
7:06 pm
but the security state has imposed a horrifying president and delta big blow to freedom of the press. now many look on and say that all julian hassan did is what a journalist is supposed to do. he was provided with information and he made it available to the public in the hopes of holding government officials accountable. and that by having and plead guilty and become of felon. this essentially saying that freedom of the press really no longer exists in the united states as a journalist, especially one is not even from the country, can be sent to prison or, or based felony charge, is simply for publishing information that's been provided to them. but it looks like after today's proceedings, julianna's on will return to his native australia as a free man, we're waiting to see when the final details of the court proceedings go down. but it looks like this could be the end of the 14 year legal battle. the sanchez faced many are looking on nervously holding their breath,
7:07 pm
wondering if this really will be the end of the situation that julian a sanchez space. so long people are wondering if it really will be if the government will live up to its promises. but we understand he's already in the court room proceeding, should we be getting any moment now, this could be the big day that many of wondered if whatever com for julian hassan. absolutely, and we'll be covering every twist and turn off those quote hearings that live hey, on the, to international for now, caleb. anything cuz that's a lot to corresponding caleb. okay. what else? just briefly remind ourselves of exactly. well, it's julie the sanchez and deal with over the past few years.
7:08 pm
the reply to of a solid just comes off to a floating point with his loan campaign to secure his freedom. protesters have no laptop regularly taken to the streets to decline. well, they told the whole situation of journalism, for tooth and nail to try to stop the whistle blowers expeditions to the us. ortiz of steve sweeney hospital. now it's been a very long, emotional, but joyous at 12 hours. i've not slept really since the news broke. i've been up all night speaking to lawyers speaking to friends of judy and campaigners activists, and we're all sharing really this sense of disbelief now. you know, we've spent the last 14 years in the pouring rain outside almost present. we've
7:09 pm
attended protests and ronnie's handed out leaflets. we've issued petitions, coating for a solid is to be released. we've even a 10 day boasting policies on wedding set of right. and so today's news is oversee stream, the welcome seeing judy and leaving the united kingdom on the airplane from style instead, apple now come pay. there's a game we've been discussing this for years. not really. and, and the overriding view is that this case is deeply political. it involves, uh, really freedom of expression, press freedom the right for jordan, this to publish information that are in the public interest. and also for the right of the problem like to receive lots information, but of course judy and faced the full force of the state will to states in fact, it particularly the united states and breast. and now we understand that in my discussions overnight, the julian has agreed a plea deal. he's expected to receive
7:10 pm
a suspended sentence off to pleading guilty to less of felony charges. of course, the united states wanted to expedite him to face charges under the espionage act, with at least a $170.00 is potentially behind balls. now, i've attended many cold cases over the years. a many of those julian didn't attend either due to his physical states or otherwise nitty. all of them were false, it go now. the last time i was in london, i spoke to set up a song studio, his wife, and she told me that she feared for his life. she said that every time she goes to visit him, she is that it is going to be the last. she sited his pool uh the physical house. his mental health was incredibly pool and she said she believed that he could commit suicide. now this was really cool. of his appeal against his expedition to the united states, a and the his lawyer as his legal team, all good that washington couldn't offer any guarantees to his safety. now this is
7:11 pm
something that was also occurred to me by amnesty international, the human rights group. and i was, i spoke to nicholas mills at the you in special rapids so uh for toto. and he told me again that duty is conditions inside belmont high security prison. he was catching a very, very small area and he said about the physical deterioration that he so each time that he visited it. and he said that this was a deliberate attack by the forces of imperialism against a judy. and now a guy, you know, the lost hand in the united states, prosecutor said, well, we can guarantee a judy of a safety. but when they were pressed, they actually admitted stopped duty and didn't have any rights as an australian citizen, to that protection under the us constitution. so they in effect on the mind the whole case. now in 2021 a. y'all who used investigation uncovered an alleged port to assassinate judy into songs on the streets of london. they came out with all sorts of fun,
7:12 pm
simple scenarios. one was a shootout on the street outside, the ecuadorian embassy. the other was blowing up the wheels of an aeroplane. should he leave for rushing out? of course this was use use that or a game we discussed this. and she said, well, how could a state that wants to move to judy and really he trusted with his safety. now, taking this should have been huge news applause to kill the world's most famous doing this on the streets of the pers, these capital. but again, i covered it in my use paper, i work for the time and the other, the other as a carry this story was the bbc where the guy to the, to the small, the service. now, a guy, you know, i said, i've spent years covering this on the case of us, the years writing about it. what is more than that within my own union, the national union of gen the size, but he is really trying to get funding for so and it was hardly ever met with a lukewarm response. there was some vague statements,
7:13 pm
but there was never any attempt to mobilize members, for example, the last co and i, i tended they would know and you type on is there was no message that out for people to attend and show the soldiers i received and support for judy and i spoke to many of the people that attended not having that come from the board from companies in europe and elsewhere. and they were caused ready this lack of support and solidarity from inside britain, but not just from the national union of doing this the they started the lack of attendance from labor party members, an act of a sudden all the trade union is because they thought that this was a, you know, the, what was most important case one around, uh, press freedom. now of course, assigns pose a threat to the establishment of we've seen, oversee the exposure of the war funds committed by the united states. and they saw him very much as a threat, but one of the key points. and i gave myself that our lawyers turn pages and others, we have worked very hard to pressure the press freedom groups and the gymnast
7:14 pm
unions to actually recognize judy and states as, as a june list and also whistle, blah. and this took many, many years before they reached the reach that the author day of sy retails in. nairobi the nations president william root. so it was deliberate and address, claiming that logical elements have hijacks the process to easy or even we might from
