Julian Assange - Release Update, with Greg Barns SC

from Stand Up Scotland · host StandUpScotland © Thor Holt 2025

What Julian Assange's release actually means, with Greg Barns SC, from Julian's Australia legal team. In 2012 Greg (a highly regarded human rights Barrister) took a call from John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father. Greg had already done advocacy on the Assange case for the Australian Lawyers Alliance. John wished to know if Greg would run Julian’s bid to be elected to the Australian Senate in the 2013 federal election. From then on, Greg worked with John, Julian’s brother, Gabriel Shipton, lawyer Steve Kenny and others to help bring an end to the US pursuit of Assange for publishing material which clearly implicated the USA in war crimes in both Iraq and Afghanistan. This early work later became the Australian Assange campaign and we are delighted to welcome Greg back for a second interview.
