The issue was obviously tightly related: Julian Assange exposed serious war crimes by the US and the UK in Iraq... Tony Blair had never been prosecuted, but Assange was persecuted by the US and the UK...
The Hon Lord Carlile of Berriew's comment on this report: "I said he was wanted for sex crime allegations at the time he took refuge-which is true. I have no idea if he is guilty. Also, the event was subject to the Chatham House rule," The Hon Lord Carlile of Berriew has not answered on the question, what Julian Assange was wanted for today. By inferring the "Chatam House rule", the Hon Lord Carlile of Berriew is seen as claiming "but neither the identity nor the affiliation of the speaker(s), nor that of any other participant, may be revealed". Therefore, the Hon Lord Carlile of Berriew has been asked what was the basis for the claim that an academic conference, such as the 12th Northumbria University Annual Conference on Global Security, Safety Sustainability fell under the "Chatam House rule".

We are talking about 'breaching Magna Carta rights' - it's medieval! [7]
