THREAD I attended the first hearing of the #AssangeTrial today. There is an incredible paradox and even a non-sense. The prosecutor accused #Assange of having endangered "political dissidents and journalists". On the contrary, Julian contributed to reveal war crimes and lies. 
@rebecca_vincent @cmihr @pierrehaski @PaulMoreiraPLTV @ggreenwald @yanisvaroufakis @Snowden In #AssangeTrial, can the prosecutor tell us why the Obama administration did decide not to prosecute, and now the Trump’s one does? It seems that there are alternative facts and even an alternative justice under @realDonaldTrump.
@rebecca_vincent @cmihr @pierrehaski @PaulMoreiraPLTV @ggreenwald @yanisvaroufakis @Snowden @realDonaldTrump We knew that the prosecutor would use these arguments against Julian #Assange: the problem is that there is no evidence, not one, that Julian endangered people. The ones who accuse him not only endangered, but clearly killed lots of civilians and even committed war crimes.
@rebecca_vincent @cmihr @pierrehaski @PaulMoreiraPLTV @ggreenwald @yanisvaroufakis @Snowden @realDonaldTrump The US authorities did not only initiate a legal proceeding against #Assange. They also launched a public relations fight, if not a propaganda fight. Assange’s image has been artificially shadowed for years, through judicial persecution and public allegations. #AssangeCase
@rebecca_vincent @cmihr @pierrehaski @PaulMoreiraPLTV @ggreenwald @yanisvaroufakis @Snowden @realDonaldTrump Julian #Assange should benefit from the solidarity of all journalists since his personal fate is connected to the one of journalism. Everybody can also express solidarity by signing the petition launched by @RSF_inter rsf.org/en/free-assange
