Just after the bombshell #revelations about the #CIA #plot to #kidnap and #assassinate #WikiLeaks #publisher #JulianAssange while he sought #political #asylum in the #EcuadorianEmbassy in #London, the #Progressive #International comes to London with the first physical #BelmarshTribunal. The #intervention comes ahead of #Assange’s #extradition proceedings, which are set to continue in London’s #HighCourt from #27to28October2021.
