All Episodes Delete Edit Trump, Assange and the rule of law - Professor Alfred de Zayas

<p>Professor of international law and human right expert Alfred de Zayas &nbsp;comments on the media censorship happening right now in the US. It's not &nbsp;just freedom of speech that's being censored, it's also the right to be &nbsp;informed. In this interview we discuss last weeks verdict in the &nbsp;extradition case of Julian Assange, and the denial of bail. Not just &nbsp;free speech but the rule of law appears broken both in the US and UK.&nbsp; <br>

<br>

In &nbsp;the second half of this interview we discuss a new law effective &nbsp;immediately in the Netherlands and how the state is being taken to court &nbsp;about it.&nbsp; Dutch citizens aren't allowed to board a flight home unless &nbsp;they present a negative PCR test result before boarding. Effectively &nbsp;that means you're stranded if not exiled in certain countries, moreover &nbsp;that you've lost your basic human right to not have to submit to said &nbsp;medical procedure. <br>
