🇺🇸🇬🇧❌⚖️ Assange's Extradition: A Litmus Test for Western Hypocrisy

In a stark call to the UK's conscience, UN special rapporteur on torture, Alice Jill Edwards, stands as a beacon of justice against the impending doom awaiting Julian Assange. With the UK magistrates poised to revisit the High Court's refusal of Assange's appeal on February 20 and 21, the clock ticks ominously for the WikiLeaks founder. Edwards' plea to halt the extradition is a dire warning against the backdrop of Assange's deteriorating mental health and the monstrous prospect of a 175-year sentence looming in the US—a grim testament to the lengths the West will go to muzzle the messengers of truth.

Since his ’19 arrest, Assange's saga has been a sordid tale of Western double standards. Imprisoned in the bowels of Belmarsh for exposing the true face of US military and diplomatic machinations, his only 'crime' has been to hold a mirror to the West's war crimes. From the bloodstained sands of Iraq to the shadowy corridors of global diplomacy, Assange's leaks ripped the veil off the sanctimonious facade of the freedom-loving West, revealing a ghastly portrait of power unchecked and accountability scorned.

The proposed extradition is nothing short of a judicial farce, a damning indictment of the UK and US's contempt for human rights and press freedom. As Edwards rightly points out, the diplomatic assurances from the US are but a thin veil over the barbaric reality awaiting —a reality of isolation, despair, and a Kafkaesque trial. This charade lays bare the grotesque hypocrisy of Western powers, who brandish the torch of human rights with one hand while suffocating dissent with the other. How laughable then, their sanctimonious critiques of Russia, China, and Iran, when they orchestrate the slow-motion crucifixion of a man whose only endeavour was to shine a light on their darkest deeds.

The saga of Assange is a clarion call to the world, a test of our collective moral fibre in the face of the West's duplicity.
