Assange’s lawyer Stephen Kenny: plea deals, assurances & what Australia should do next to free him

Conversation between Cathy Vogan, courtroom journalist on the Assange case for Consortium News and his Australian lawyer Stephen Kenny. Kenny succeeded in rescuing another Australian citizen detained by the US, David Hicks, from Guantanamo Bay. He then cleared his name in 2015, by having the conviction from a dubious charge, “material aid to terrorism“, overturned. Vogan & Kenny discuss plea deals, assurances, and what Australia should do next to get Assange out of Belmarsh, one way or the other.
