"In 2010-11 Assange released the Iraq War Logs,Guantanamo Files & Diplomatic Cables...so the US is embarrassed, too bad they shouldn't have done those things. Being embarrassed is no reason to put someone away for life...they're trying to make an example out of him" Susan McLucas
"If media covered #AssangeCase, you would know prominent civil liberties & press freedom org have written to Biden & Garland demanding they #DropTheCharges against Assange..in light of @YahooNews story..heightens our concerns abt motivations behind this prosecution" @Plucille54
"..Assange most celebrated journalist in the world..what he was famous for was he revealed in ways that cld not be challenged..stories of what was happening in the world..what govts said abt how they were conducting war & how it differed from what Assange revealed" Jeanne Winner
"...look at the story of the Trojan War and..understand the horrors that ensue when people get so taken away..with the pride of military conquests...this is a crime that is being committed against [Assange] who apprised us of the war crimes committed by our govts" James Van Looy
Susan McLucas reads excerpts from @StellaMoris1 statement regarding Supreme Court decision:
"...The cruelty against Julian is corrupting. It corrupts our most cherished values & institutions. They will be extinguished and lost forever unless this travesty is brought to an end..."
"March 14th another dark day in the 10yr persecution of Assange the most important journalist of our generation...UK Supreme Court refused to hear his appeal...his fight for freedom drags on bc the legal process is the punishment..world knows this is a political case" @Plucille54
Cynthia from Peace Action Maine:
"Julian has been so maligned &people don't necessarily hear anything deeper than [the smears]& that's enough for them- they don't look further& that is tragic because Assange has done nothing but release information the public has a right to know"
