EP3. We are in a new dark age: David Langwallner on Julian Assange
Description
David Langwallner is an Irish barrister practising in the United Kingdom. A regular contributor to Cassandra Voices, he has represented defendants in criminal cases, including murder, at the highest levels of the U.K. System. He also has extensive experience of constitutional and immigration law and lectured on constitutional law and jurisprudence for sixteen years at The Honorable Society of the King’s Inns in Dublin. Following Julian Assange’s final hearing over his threatened extradition to the U.S., and before the judgment was delivered deciding Assange’s fate, we spoke about the resonances and legalities of the case, the implications for justice and freedom of speech and erosion of journalistic and other valuable voices around the world. Special thanks to Anna Kohlweis, Cassandra Voices’ Musician of the Month for March.
