In this extraordinary fifth installment of “Live on the Fly – Julian Assange: Countdown to Freedom,” Randy Credico speaks with Nils Melzer, UN Special Rapporteur on torture and professor at Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights; Lauri Love, who successfully avoided extradition to the U.S.; and John Kiriakou, former CIA analyst and case officer who blew the whistle on the official CIA torture program.
Nils, among other revelations, cuts through the disinformation and lays out the truth regarding torture, unjust imprisonment and Julian’s case, including the smear campaign wrapped in trumped-up rape allegations out of Sweden.
Lauri speaks on how he successfully avoided extradition to the U.S.
And John—while noting that the United Nations has declared solitary confinement as it is practiced in the U.S. to be a form of torture—describes his own incarceration in the U.S. and how British courts have refused to extradite people to the U.S. because of the nature of its prison system.
