92-year-old Eric Levy has been ARRESTED outside Westminster Magistrates’ 
Court as Julian Assange is DENIED bail. Eric Levy, who is an anti-war 
campaigner, was arrested for allegedly breaching COVID regulations.

Little more is know about the arrest at this stage, this is an ongoing 
story, however, there is much concern over 92 year old, Mr Levy’s health.

Mr Levey once acted as a human shield in Iraq (before, during and after 
the invasion/occupation in 2003, his history of protesting for peace and 
justice is well documented

        The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was denied bail today
        following Monday’s verdict in his battle to against extradition
        from Britain to the United States.

“I am satisfied there are substantial grounds for believing that if Mr 
Assange is released today he would fail to surrender to court to face 
the appeal proceedings,” Judge Vanessa Baraitser said.

“As far as Mr Assange is concerned this case has not yet been won… the 
outcome of this appeal is not yet known.”

She was referring to the fact that Assange after failing in his battle 
against extradition to Sweden, breached bail and took refuge in the 
Embassy of Ecuador in London in June 2012. He was granted asylum by 
Ecuador on the grounds of political persecution, with the presumption 
that if he was extradited to Sweden, he would be eventually extradited 
to the US.

Assange was also previously denied bail in September 2019, when Judge 
Baraitser ruled that there were /“substantial grounds”/ to believe he 
would /“abscond again.”/

Assange’s lawyer, Edward Fitzgerald, argued that the decision to refuse 
extradition /“massively reduces”/ the defendant’s motivation to flee.

/“Mr. Assange has every reason to stay in this jurisdiction, where he 
has the protection of the rule of law and this court’s decision,”/ he said.

Fitzgerald said Assange would be safer at home, with his partner Stella 
Moris and the couple’s two young sons, than in prison, where there is 
/“a very grave crisis of Covid.”/

WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Kristinn Hrafnsson slammed the denial of bail 
by the judge as /“unjust, unfair, and illogical, [especially] when you 
consider her ruling two days ago about Julian’s health.”/

Baraitser refused to allow extradition, citing a concern that the US 
justice system could not prevent Assange from possibly taking his own life.

Hrafnsson noted that Assange’s physical and mental health has 
deteriorated while behind bars in Belmarsh.

    /*To send him back there doesn’t make any sense.*/

The WikiLeaks co-founder could face a maximum of 175 years in prison in 
the US, if found guilty on all 18 counts related to the conspiracy to 
obtain and release classified documents pertaining to the conduct of US 
forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
