Assage Trial Live:
Day 2 cont.
Defense has summary remarks.
Says US prosecution is relying on the extradition treaty while at the same time attempting to ignore article 5 of it (no political extradition).
And they are pretending to guarantee safety while their heads of state have plotted to murder him (numerous times).
Says prosecution is wrong in claiming due process. The legal process has only materialized after attempts to kidnap and kill (rendition plot) failed. ie. illegal process was swapped out for a quasi-legal one.
Defense also argues that under section 7 of ECHR (the retroactive criminality section), previous judge's ruling erred in attempting to leave the legal issue wide open to resolve as a fifth ammendment issue in U.S. courts (this point was raised yesterday by defense as well). Says Assange could not have expected in any reasonable sense for prosecution to result from basic journalistic practices.
