How can one NOT have a right to appeal?!!!

reply

My understanding is that this isn't an appeal against a US court ruling (where that's part of the process), but a UK court appeal specifically against extradition. I'm guessing different countries have different rules/processes around that.

reply

You are correct. my question remains.

reply

Right, I get it, but I don't know that the right to appeal is something universal, nor if countries treat extradition hearings the same way they treat criminal cases. I'm sure there are some countries where those rights don't exist at all (even on paper).

Of course it is not universal. Freedom and rule of law are not. However, we are talking about the U.S. and the U. K. here! Don't know why you're bringing up irrelevant situations. Are trying to add value or are you Sats farming with these answers? Not judging. Just asking.

This is interesting, because the "unveiled" these charges after he was taken into custody after the embassy.

The US government will do anything to get their hands on him because he embarrassed them so much.

reply

They want to kill him-solves every problem. Lincoln, Kennedy and they tried to do Snowden. Anyone that gets in the way-kill them-- straight up Game of Thrones!

reply

His story is really weird.
They are just trying to get anything to stick to him.

reply

why is it weird? he spoke truth..He's stating he wants his first amendment right to be upheld.. that's nothing complex here.

reply

I mean all the crimes he has supposedly committed.

reply

Maybe he didn't commit a crime? food for thought
Did Snowden commit a crime?

reply

Julian is our hero. What Julian did was right. Why, there is no question of his extradition. He is not a criminal. He was just reporting and doing his work.

reply

Julian represents the very best of us
