UK’s former Brexit secretary says Assange judge 'got the law wrong'
By Richard Norton-Taylor • 22 January 2021
As US prosecutors lodge an appeal in their resolve to jail Julian Assange for espionage, a former British Cabinet minister
[David Davis
] has delivered a stinging attack on Britain’s extradition treaty with the US.

[David
] Davis also pointed out that journalists in the US were protected by the first amendment. Daniel Ellsberg was charged for leaking the Pentagon Papers to
The New York Times. The newspaper was never prosecuted. No journalist in Britain or the US was prosecuted for publishing scores of secret documents from America’s National Security Agency or Britain’s GCHQ leaked by Edward Snowden.
The irony, said
[David
] Davis, is that if Assange were an American journalist in the US, he would not be prosecuted.
