New Australian Extradition Law?

[freedombecki]

From Mike Head:

Previously, extradition had to be refused if the alleged crime was political in nature. Now “terrorist”-related offences will no longer be exempt from extradition. This provision could well be used against Assange. US Vice President Joseph Biden has described Assange as a “high tech terrorist,” a charge repeated by others.
The amendments to the Australian Extradition Act further permit the government to introduce regulations, with little public scrutiny, to do likewise for other offences, such as espionage or sedition.
The amendments also expedite the extradition process and and permit the government to introduce regulations that would allow the government to domestically prosecute people accused of crimes in the U.S. (e.g. Assange or former Guantánamo Bay detainee David Hicks), according to Head.

Australian Senate Daily Summary

So that's the latest from the world of Julian Assange, except that he's hosting terrorists on his Russian program The World of Tomorrow. His interview with Nasrallah, Hezbollah spokesman, resulted in Nasrallah telling him nobody will ever be able to break their code based on Arab farm slang. lol

Real sweetheart, that Julian Assange.

The New Extradition Law, if passed, will ease Assange's extradition to the United States to face espionage charges for breaking the law.
