Dutch lawyer Charlie de Vreede discusses Julian Assange's extradition trial. She views the election as a battle between nationalism and internationalism and believes a Trump presidency would increase the chances of an Assange pardon. She discusses the unfair practices of the state against Assange such as the extradition case being pushed along yet lacking a criminal indictment, total surveillance of Assange and his defense team which would normally throw out a case, how the court proceedings have not been public, how the judge has been reading out previously written statements from a laptop, and how his treatment in prison can technically be considered torture.
