While it may be too simplistic to suggest a Organisations 5 straightforward copycat effect linking what people see or hear In the news 6 to what they do, many scientific studies have raised concerns about the effects of media violence, particularly on vulnerable and impressionable young people. Such evidence forms the basis of arguments for censorship, with measures ranging from bans on violent material, to the cutting of scenes from films and the classification of films and video games by age limits. The game Manhunt 2 has been banned [Ref: BBC News] and the government’s Byron review recommended that more games be rated. Campaigners for freedom of expression oppose such restriction and dispute the claim that media has a direct effect on behaviour.

  • 1 in the Westminster Magistrates' Court Between
    IN THE WESTMINSTER MAGISTRATES’ COURT B E T W E E N: GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Requesting State v JULIAN ASSANGE Defendant _________________________________ DEFENCE SUBMISSIONS: PART ONE _________________________________ ** All references are to the Defence Core Bundle unless otherwise stated 1. Introduction 1.1. These Defence Submissions are in two parts. In Part 1, we provide an overall summary of the case and briefly set out Mr Assange’s position on each of the grounds of abuse, including the Treaty point, and each of the statutory bars. This updates and refines the defence opening; responds to issues raised at the February hearing about the Treaty point and develops the Article 3 and Section 91 argument in more detail. In Part 2 (a separate document) we set out in full the interlinked arguments on Zakrzewski abuse, Article 7 and Article 10, and the related dual criminality point that no extradition crime is made out. That is because these points require amplification from the earlier submissions. 1.2. In these submissions we first summarise the history of this case to demonstrate that the prosecution is not motivated by genuine concerns for criminal justice but by politics. 1 1.3. We next address the three ways in which these proceedings constitute an abuse of process, in the following three separate but overlapping categories: (i) First, the request seeks extradition for what is a classic “political offence”. Extradition for a political offence is expressly prohibited by Article 4(1) of the Anglo-US Extradition Treaty. Therefore, it constitutes an abuse of this Court’s process to require this Court to extradite on the basis of the Anglo-US Treaty in breach of the Treaty’s express provisions.
