Corrupt Court Extradites Assange to Sweden

The founder of the controversial whistleblowing website Wikileaks, Julian Assange, will be sent to Sweden to face sex crime charges. A London Court has just ruled that Stockholm's extradition bid has been successful. Lawyers for Assange have a week to appeal Thursday's decision. For more on the Assange we talk to investigative journalist Tony Gosling.

Keeping the Bastards Honest: Julian Assange on Citizenry's Right to Scrutinize the State

This video is a bite sized montage of the "Wikileaks Free Speech Forum" in Melbourne on the 4th Feb 2011. Here Julian Assange pulls no punches explaining why the citizenry must uphold its right to scrutinize the state. He also directly calls on the Australian PM to do all she can to bring him home, and the Australian public to turn their care and concern into ACTION and insist on his return to Melbourne.

The founders of Wikileaks, as individuals, citizens, mothers and conscious human beings instinctively know (as do many around the globe) that the narrative being played out in relation to Wikileaks and Assange, has ramifications for us all. We must collectively ACT on that knowledge, with the understanding that the attack on Assange is an attack on us all when it comes to freedom of speech, citizenry rights, human rights and the right to know what our elected officials do in our name both here and abroad.
