This forum confronts the consequences of the US government prosecuting Julian Assange under the Espionage Act of 1917
More Information (KPFK 90.7 FM is not responsible for external websites)
The charges Julian Assange faces are a major threat to press freedom. After being forcibly removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy, Assange is now in a high security prison in London where he faces extradition to the United States and imprisonment for the rest of his life.
