#TheCanaryLive – Julian Assange extradition hearing decision: what next?
On the day a UK court ruled that Julian Assange will not be extradited to the US where he would face 175 years in prison, we discuss the verdict and what happens next. Speakers include: Journalists John McEvoy and Mohamed Elmaazi, Maxine Walker from the UK-based Committee to Defend Julian Assange, Trade unionist and a member of the National Executive Committee of UCU Deepa Driver and former Ecuadorian consul Fidel Narváez. The event was chaired by the Pablo Navarrete, Director of No Extradition and filmmaker at The Canary, and was broadcast live from 7-8pm on Monday 4 January 2021.
We know everyone is suffering under the Tories - but the Canary is a vital weapon in our fight back, and we need your support
The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.

So good to listen to the facts about what is happening in this tragedy. This live news aspect of the Canary is why I sunscribe. No one else sings this tune.
Dr. Deepa’s experiences with her observations on the ground was so revealing about the mindset of this military inspired imprisonment.
Well done.
