On this edition of Parallax Views, the controversial founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, appeared in a London court late this past February for his extradition hearing. Investigative journalist Kevin Gosztola of ShadowProof and the Unauthorized Disclosure podcast w/ Rania Khalek, who was in attendance for the hearing, joins us to provide a firsthand report of the proceedings and give a primer on the case of Julian Assange. Additionaly, Kevin and I discuss what is at stake for press freedom in relation Assange's case, how the Spanish security firm Undercover Global (which has connections to billionaire Trump donor Sheldon Adelson) connects to the case, how Assange was held in a glass box during the hearing, Iraq War whistleblower Chelsea Manning's relevance to Assange's case, and much, much more.
