YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Today marks the 1,000th day WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has spent in political asylum inside Ecuador's London embassy. For the first time, Swedish prosecutors have opened the door to Assange's departure with a request to question him in London. Assange has never been charged over allegations of sexual assault, but has been holed up in the embassy since 2012, fearing a Swedish arrest warrant could lead to his extradition to the United States. We speak with one of Assange's lawyers, Michael Ratner, who argues the alleged sexual assault case is not strong enough to go forward.
