New York, NY – July 19, 2021 – The Intercept has published a report by journalist Murtaza Hussain that sheds light on the highly contentious career of Assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg, a federal prosecutor at the heart of the case against WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange.
Kromberg has been a highly controversial figure in U.S. legal circles for over two decades, with a long track record of accusations of abusive practices and bias in his prosecutions. As the government’s point man on notorious terrorism cases following 9/11, he was frequently accused by opposing counsels and civil rights groups of engaging in racist behavior and using unethical tactics in pursuit of convictions.

British court ruling heightens danger of Assange extradition to the US
Last week’s ruling by the British High Court allowing prosecutors to appeal an earlier judgment blocking Julian Assange’s extradition, poses the very real danger that the WikiLeaks publisher will be dispatched to his American persecutors in the not-too-distant future.
The ruling is a microcosm of the Assange case as a whole. As they have for the past decade, the British courts have thrown aside the WikiLeaks founder’s legal and democratic rights. They have granted a US appeal that is both duplicitous and irregular under conditions in which the entire attempt by the American state to prosecute Assange has been exposed as an illegal frame-up.
