Assange faces a 175-year prison sentence for publishing classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. While the WikiLeaks founder's health is reportedly deteriorating rapidly, his lawyers are arguing the case is politically motivated to target Assange for exposing "state-level crimes." Meanwhile, U.S. lawyers are attempting to portray Assange as a hacker rather than a journalist. "It's clear to everyone that Assange is a journalist. He revealed more criminality by the world's most powerful country than anyone's ever done in history," says Matt Kennard, head of investigations at _Declassified UK_, who lays out the proceedings so far, what to expect from the British justice system and the precedent an Assange extradition would set for global journalism. "It will be a huge nail in the coffin for investigative journalism, for any kind of publishing of information that state powers don't like, and it will be used by repressive regimes all around the world."
