🔴 #RSF ​is mobilised this morning in support of Julian #Assange, in front of #Woolwich court in London where his trial begins in a few hours. #FreeAssange #live
In retaliation for his role facilitating major revelations in the international media about how the US conducted its wars, #Assange is facing 18 charges in the US, including 17 under the Espionage Act. If extradited to the USA he could be sentenced to up to 175
years in prison.
#RSF urges the UK government to prioritise the principles of freedom of expression and the defence of journalism in its treatment of Assange, and to act in accordance with UK law and the country’s international human rights obligations. #FreeAssange
« The prosecutor's opening argument repeated many times that Assange put in danger political dissidents, journalists, and human rights defenders, but he was not capable of naming any victims. » @cdeloire
« The prosecutor’s arguments were made without evidence, yet the revelations of war crimes and torture made by Julian Assange have all been found to be true. The accusations made against Assange are complete contradictory. » @cdeloire
Now, more than ever, is the time to join us in this fight.
Sign and share the petition against Julian #Assange’s extradition to the United States.
