Комиссар призвал правительство Великобритании не экстрадировать Джулиана Ассанжа

В опубликованном сегодня письме комиссар Совета Европы по правам человека Дуня Миятович призвала министра внутренних дел Великобритании Прити Патель не экстрадировать Джулиана Ассанжа.

Далее на английском языке.

Writing in view of the impending decision on Mr Assange’s extradition, the Commissioner noted that the wider human rights implications of doing so had not yet been adequately considered in the extradition proceedings. She particularly highlighted that the indictment by the United States against Mr Assange raised important questions about the protection of those that publish classified information in the public interest, including information that exposes human rights violations. She concluded that allowing Mr Assange’s extradition on this basis would have a chilling effect on media freedom, and could ultimately hamper the press in performing its task as purveyor of information and public watchdog in democratic societies.
