How convenient. 
Remember when Gavin MacFadyen died in 2016, and then Lenin Moreno was
elected in 2017, and then Arjen Kamphuis disappeared in 2018 and then Julian

Famous Spanish jurist Baltasar Garzon has been admitted to a hospital in
Madrid after testing positive for Covid-19. He has provided legal counsel to
WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, among other things. 

Garzon, 64, was admitted to the Ruber clinic in Madrid on Tuesday, after
five days of high fever at home. He tested positive for the coronavirus and
was given the prognosis of respiratory failure, Spanish media reported.

down on the Basque separatist organization ETA, and pursued human rights
abuse charges against Spain¡¯s Franco government, the Pinochet junta in
Chile, and the Argentine military dictatorship. 

He has provided legal counsel to Assange since 2012, finding himself under
considerable pressure at times ¨C such as when masked raiders broke into his
office in 2017.
