  23 June, by siawi3

• La battaglia per la libertà di Julian Assange non si ferma
  23 giugno, di siawi3

  Impugnando presso quest’ultima la sentenza in primo grado – che pur negando l’estradizione lo faceva soltanto sulla base delle ragioni legate alla salute mentale di Assange – si porterà l’attenzione della corte stessa sui punti “ignorati” all’epoca dalla giudice Baraitser. Il fine è comprendere se sia stato corretto “scartarli”.
