ASSANGE APPEALS JUDGE: 40-Year ‘Good Friend’ of Man who ORCHESTRATED his ARREST
The WikiLeaks co-founder’s fate rests on the decision of a judge who is a long-time friend of Alan Duncan – the former foreign minister behind Julian Assange’s eviction from London’s Ecuadorian embassy.
Duncan once called Assange a “miserable little worm” in parliament, and is a personal Oxford University buddy of Lord Chief Justice Ian Burnett since the 1970s.
Burnett will rule on Assange’s extradition to the United States and the possibility of a life behind bars – or worse – as experts point to his deteriorating health.
In an emailed response to Declassified, Lord Chief Justice Burnett confirmed he and Duncan have been “friends since university days.”
