A UK court could decide whether Julian Assange has the right to appeal his extradition to the United States. Assange's actions were vital in disseminating information protected by a fallacious use of the concept of state secret.
What is at stake is, in a time of montages, hoaxes and alternative realities like the one we live in, a rigorous and independent way of doing journalism. And with it, two pillars of democracy: freedom of the press and theright to information. The harassment suffered by Assange since practically that same date goes beyond Washington's pursuit of an alleged crime.
