Amy Goodman devoted 50 minutes of her broadcast Monday, January 23, to a highlight reel from the Belmarsh Tribunal about Julian Assange. Daniel Ellsberg, Jeremy Corbyn, Noam Chomsky and others are featured. She starts the series of clips with the words of the ACLU's Ben Wizner,
"No government in any kind of system will voluntarily disclose its own crimes. For that we need brave sources who have first hand evidence and we need a free press and brave publishers who are willing to bring this information to the people to whom it belongs." - Ben Wizner, Belmarsh Tribunal

At minute 54, Suchita Vijayan, lawyer for the Polis Project, describes the civil liberties violations already endured by Assange,
"...systematic violations of due process, judicial bias, manipulated and manufactured evidence, defamation, lies, propaganda, denial of basic dignity, assasination attempts and threats." - Suchita Vijayan, Belmarsh Tribunal
