- Family and supporters of detained WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange refuse to give up the fight to stop his extradition to the U.S., despite losing another appeal in a London court recently. Assange is wanted by U.S. authorities on 18 criminal counts.

US goes on lecturing the whole world about freedom of journalism and here they are 😂
He didn't do any work as a journalist, he just dump data that put people life at risk, he is a ruzzian asset.
This is messed up and scary
My countrymen are too naive to understand that the U.S. governments interests are only in maintaining power, increasing control and of course sloppily "covering up" heinous government activity. It just makes it plainly obvious to everyone they have something to hide when they pull the "You can't show the world what we're doing so you're going to prison" maneuver.
Exactly. They have double standard and are hypocritical!
The US govt went mask off & theres no going back. They sentenced an American citizen to a decade in prison for a meme. They sentenced a man for removing a temporary fence by the capitol to 17 years. They openly police social media platforms & only allow the propaganda they want…..& the American people just take it. Absolutely pathetic
Free Assange 🇺🇸
Assange and his family has suffered too much already. Assange is a courageous, award-winning publisher who should be freed immediately.
Free Julian Assange ✊️ 💜
Because he embarrassed the warmongers. Happy Birthday Julian!!!! Americans are praying for your freedom 🙏
Julian Assange and Edward Snowden are real heros free Julian Assange now as soonest possible
The true real here’s in this world without a narrative/agenda to push
He should have already been charges dropped or a commuted sentence, same with Snowden, the fact that it’s not the case shows how deep rooted the bs is in this society
Keep up the good work guys
Keep asking questions
Solidarity
Free Assange
We need more trouble makers among journalists. A very good interview, thank you!
Terrible interview.
Great guest.
Worthwhile conversation.
@@mozeman80great interview great guest .
Not happening, Assange is currently being held at Belmarsh Prison in southeast London, his life is ruined because he went against powerful corruption, there is too much to lose for other to do what he did
*because they themselves are guilty of what he exposed. and this is a way to shut him and every one els up!*
Bingo
What about the crap Trump has been pulling!? Isn’t HE putting the country at risk?
@@karenacton3854 like what? From Canada explain all the bad bad things Orange man has done to you?
they tryna put him in jail too @@karenacton3854
Thank you CBC news, when no other mainstream media is talking about Julian
OK... Credit to CBC for breaking out of the bubble with this segment.
Yeah, not sure what’s going on with CBC. They had a great roundtable of real-estate owners and renters on not long ago and revealed that Airbnb is the primary issue causing the housing crisis in Canada.
@@yepyep2921 airbnb..? Lol
Telling the truth on the news should not be "breaking out of the bubble." Credit but not extra credit.
@@alanmalcheski8882True. "Recognition" is a better word.
@@jptrainor I don't get excited about these things anymore. It won't change anything.
Good that the CBC is following this story. A good follow up would be to ask why the Canadian government is silent about this. The Prime Minister of Australia has spoken up. What about the Prime Minister of Canada?
Biden forbids such talk it makes Obama and Bush look like war criminals, which they are!
I really like this journalist guy, he says it how it is. And explains how ridiculous it is that the US is still pursuing this! So much for freedom, in particular free speech
"says it how it is" is the wightest thing i've ever heard
Until it’s about Russia lol
Amazing CBC having a true journalist on. Great interview.
....... 🤮🤮🤮
@@FranklinFleming-lm1yu, tell me more about your dislike about this interview.
Unless you are a bot, then don’t waste my time.
@@mozeman80 I'm indifferent to the subject matter... But CBC is state funded propaganda... I hope you know.
@@FranklinFleming-lm1yubut, follow the bouncing ball on this, Glenn Greenwald IS NOT!
@@ferociousgustafson4040 who lol
We all need to stand up for this guy... Or they'll just keep up there bullshyt
Julian won the journalism Walkley Award
Iam actually shocked! Good job CBC!
Julian Assange is a good person.
All his enemies need to be punished for their crimes.
Don't forget this hero .
Props to CBC for covering this and interviewing Glenn Greenwald.
Free Julian Assange!
Is an injustice what is done to Julian.
Assange should be released - he is definitely not a crinimal! the West is based upon the freedom of thought and freedom of speech - so the authorities should do the proper thing to prove those basic principles!
Libertad a Julián Assange 🙏🙏🙏
Drop the charges!
Why hasn't London released him. There's literally no evidence. The entire case for the USA fell apart.
It is simply NOT legal to punish Assange!
Liberté pour Julian Assange ! ✊🏻✊🏻✊🏻 🇫🇷
Am i seeing this right. Cbc. Omg you are asking sensible questions. I am totally surprised. Well i hope you change and of course we will take you seriously.
Thank you CB S............
Of course not, they don't want to be exposed, so they charge him of crimes for US citezens, a NON US resident outside of the country.
Free Julian Assange 🕊️
Free Assange
Can't believe the CBC had GG on. Mind blowing... in a good way.
I feel so bad for him and his family
This poor man serving an endless sentence without trial only in the uk. They cant try him as the prosecution has spyed on him while in conference with his solicitor . Over the years not one person has been hurt by this discloser .
Those war criminals & criminal syndicates must be hit with a million pounds for each day Julian has illegally been incarcerated.
Yes, the fourth estate must be protected. It was wrongful arrest.
Oh look a journalist featured on CBC
Its amazing how the leader of the "free" world is fighting tooth n nail to get one man in there hands..i mean it should make the world scratch there heads n be like why are they trying so hard...it should make it more clear they have things to hide.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has added his support:
"I look with concern at the imminent extradition of journalist Julian Assange. Assange has done an important job to denounce the illegal actions of one state against another. His detention goes against the defense of democracy and freedom of the press. It is important that we all mobilize in his defense," he said.
🍀#WeAreAllAssange🍀
🍀#FreeJulianAssange🍀
Excellent interview - thanks CBC
I think this is the first time I have thumbed up anything from CBC News.
People lost their lives and Julian exposed the criminal, how is Julian Assange guilty for exposing crimes.
Is there a limit of who should report crimes against humanity?
Are the behaviours which are stipulated as crimes by the justice system laws only for certain individuals with human form and not for other humans?
A journalist is someone looking out the window, seeing something happening and telling someone else. There's no ordination process.
Cbcnn Please Contact Mrs. Stella Assange, Julian’s wife/Lawyer. Appreciate this interview! Thank You!
Thank you for explaining this!
Julian should be pardoned the same way Chelsea Manning was. This has gone on too long. He did more good than harm in the world. Enough is enough. Free the man already. He has a young family waiting for him.
What use is Free Press when it is virtually censored out of fear......or financial punishment.
#FreeJulianAssange
1st cbc journalism I've given a thumbs up in....years! Free Julian Assange!
So this is freedom of journalism promoted by the west.
Lol! The biased CBC coverage of Assange up until this point has been absolutely embarrassing. This is the FIRST time the CBC has reached out to a neutral journalist over this issue. Glenn Greenwald has been available for comment for YEARS!! Where have you been CBC?!
Exactly makes me wonder why the narrative is changing?
Free this man right away 🇳🇱
Do we have any congressmen willing to bring this up ?
Free Assange!
Because the narrative falls apart?
Also in 2019, an Australien news room was raided by Australien govt. I think it was about a war crimes story of Australian army.
Equator should not have let the police in to get Mr. Assange.
"bad behavior" is a reason to be arrested and treated with charges of "bad behavior" not to be transferred into the ruthless hands... of the US government.
And to be honest... being stuck for seven years in an Embassy with access to the internet, I would probably go crazy too.
Also, there is no way to know if what Equator said is true. They could have worked with the US gov.
Saying he had "bad hygiene" is a good way to "discredit" him.
Julian Assange should receive the Nobel Peace price each year.
Amazing! CBC on an important issue.
Free HIM ALREADY!! WHY ? HE HAS THE GOODS ON THEM THATS WHY HE WON'T GIVE UP THE GOODS !!! FREE HIM NOW !
Let him out we need him now more than ever
If they let him out ever, they’re gunna make sure he’s mentally gone if he isn’t already
Where is freedom of speech and journamlisme, and fight for freedom....
Julian Assange imprisoned for journalism.
Freedom of expression protects journalism among other social activities in society, where the written and spoken word are used as means to reach out to people who have the right to be told the truth. So, it isn't just a privileged group of authorized academics that are protected. Whether Julian Assange is a journalist or not is of no importance in this case, only his revelation about governmental corruption and war crimes matters.
Why won't the U.S. drop charges against WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange?
Fascism.
@@garmar704What?

Dear Lord, we lift our prayers above,
In verses woven with faith and love.
For the strong, who bear the weight of strife,
Defending the defenseless, risking their life.
They, like reeds, bend in the hurricane's might,
While others break, surrender to endless night.
Their strength extends beyond their own kin,
Embracing the world, as their duty within.
Not in health or power do they find their claim,
But in the knowing, they must not wane.
They refuse to fall, to faint or despair,
For someone still relies on their tender care.
In heart attacks' storm, they leap with grace,
Swim to save a child in perilous embrace.
They ensure safety before their own repose,
As whispered by doctors, these miracles disclose.
Yet, the strong ones are burdened by solitude's plight,
Unseen are their battles, their fear in the night.
Unheard are their cries, their longing so true,
For we overlook their pain, their loneliness too.
On Earth they tread, silent warriors, unknown,
Their presence not always in comfort, clearly shown.
But they are the cavalry, in the final hour they stand,
Ready to protect, lending a helping hand.
Assange, your son, lives in torment and strife,
Denied the blue sky, the joy of his life.
Let us act, Lord, to prevent his unjust fate,
To foil the plans that seal his unworthy state.
Make your voice heard to those who seek,
Actions against evil, they must boldly speak.
For miracles await those who rise,
To shield the innocent, amidst darkened skies.
Unjust it would be if evil prevails,
As Assange suffers, while we lift our sails.
His noble deeds have saved lives untold,
From Guantanamo's grasp, stories unfold.
Assange, your worthy son, we proclaim,
Lord, grant Christians wisdom to share his name.
Let us defend the defender, strong and brave,
With uplifted hands, our voices to save.
In unity we rise, in action we stand,
No silence shall reign, no evil withstand.
As it was witnessed two millennia ago,
We shall not passively watch, your mercy to bestow.
Amen, our prayer in verses entwined,
May your divine guidance be ever kind.
With faith and hope, we trust in your might,
To protect the innocent, in your radiant light.
I don’t understand some of Greenwald’s recent posts on Twitter, but this is bang-on. Thank you for championing this cause. 👏
Free him.
JAIL THE WAR CRIMINALS AND FREE ASSANGE
I appreciate you CBC news for keeping all of us up to date with the current event and news. I can always count on you guys to remain the most unbiased and professional.
Lol are you serious? This story has been front and center..you might want to ask why all of sudden they are covering this!
Sarcasm?
The US refuses to drop charges against Assange because if they were to release him, it could encourage more individuals to come forward and reveal information that the government prefers to keep hidden from the public.
yes, free Assange also do not for get, he was originally charged for a crime he did not do, and hose trumped up charges were to get him silenced, and were dropped as false, i live this living hell because i said NO! to my privacy and life being exploited and my intellectual property being plagiarized! free Roberta May Hope Caster[and pay me my royalties or there will be no intellectual property for anyone, and free JULIAN! Hope
I'm struggling with my strong dislike for the injustice against this journalist. And why does the U.S. have secret crimes? It's disheartening that such actions might be considered legal
The reason why charges have not been dropped is that powerful people don’t want them dropped. He is not an American and has to the best of my knowledge has never been to the USA. In short he has no duty to obey our laws. The UK should deport him to Australia.
I don't know what information was leaked but holding a bunch of paintings hostage and threatening to destroy them is a big NO to me !!!
🇧🇷#FREEASSANGEJULIAN
This is horrible! What has happened to America? We use to stand for freedom & justice 😪 Freedom of speech no longer is. Journalists have always told the truth, why are they torturing him?
Thank u for this don’t lose truth don’t lose human values ur rational minds
Jesus Christ it’s only taken the CBC 11 years to talk about this and bring on a actual journalist instead of war criminals like John stick him in a dungeon Bolton
He is an Australian citizen... return him back to Australia...
#freeassangenow
We the People have a right to know the TRUTH...
They release him, and I will ensure he pays slowly. He is not a freedom fighter. He used others to make money. I hope he gets released. I have 1.2 mil in a Roth 401k and will use it all to make sure he gets what is coming.
drop the charges! citizens are allowed to know!!! free assange!!!
I can only imagine what torturous and mental amalgamations they’ve been doing to him…
Free Julian Assange!!!
Is CTV making a return to credible journalism?
Not holding my breath ,but I would be hoping. Journalist are supposed to care about justice , not joint with the security state to suppress it
Do you mean CBC? This is a CBC story.
As a journalist I believe journalism is very credible in Canada. Ethics are maintained by the Canadian Association of Journalists. The propaganda and foreign interference to undermine and discredit journalism is very strong.
Free Free Julian Assange stop extradition stop extradition !!!!stop extradition now !
War doesn't put lives in danger?
EVERY PERSON is a citizen journalist! It’s called the FIRST AMENDMENT… it’s in our constitution. But one should be mindful of what you print and say.
free Julian Assange!!!
Assange is not a journalist! The US must defend its state, its laws and its people!
Free Julian Assange
......... You side with CBC.... I will pray for your soul lol
@@FranklinFleming-lm1yu You don't side with Julian Assange? I will not pray for you or your soul.
@@alanmalcheski8882 no clue who that is lol. And your comment is very telling. I don't like CBC, but no Ill will towards you and you Ilk however you have distain for me. You are not a very nice person 😂🤣. Don't believe in CBC propaganda ... You will receive a poor fate.
It’s because of the pizza related map handkerchief.
