From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A 90-year-old Australian citizen cannot be extradited to Hungary to face accusations that he tortured and killed a Jewish teenager during the Second World War, Australia's highest court ruled yesterday.
The judges upheld a lower court's decision that Charles Zentai, a former Hungarian soldier, could not be extradited because there was no offence of war crime in Hungary in 1944.
Hungarian prosecutors say Mr Zentai is suspected of beating Peter Balazs to death in Budapest for failing to wear a star identifying him as a Jew. Mr Zentai, who migrated to Australia in 1950, has denied the allegation and has been fighting extradition since 2005.
