Lowkey: "Julian #Assange is not being punished for anything he's done wrong. He's being punishes for everything he's done right!" #FreeTheTruth
I thanked Fidel Narvaez when we briefly met before this #FreeTheTruth event for what I consider to be his true moral compass.
"It is my duty", he said.
Lisa Longstaff: "The people who want to prosecute #Assange, they are the rapists! They are the racists! They are the murderers!. ..the British media must take their part of the blame!" #FreeTheTruth
"Just spoke to Belmarsh Prison 0208 331 4400 and was told the following: 1. You can send Mr Julian #Assange a money order of up to £250.00, out of which he will be allowed £15.50 a week for in prison purchases and this: phone calls...
2. You must make the money order out to HM PRISON SERVICES 3. Mail the money order in an envelope addressed to: Mr Julian Assange DOB 03/07/1971 HMP Belmarsh Western Way London SE28 0EB 4. You must write on the money order your name and address, most important!
Also, ensure you write for Mr Julian Assange’s Account DOB 03/07/1971 on the actual money order. 5. If you wish to send him books or items of clothing (no logos allowed) one can post them/have them delivered in the first 28 days after his conviction.
After spending 7 years in arbitrary detention, #JulianAssange has just been sentenced to a further 50 weeks in prison for escaping a witch hunt designed to kill him, investigative journalism, Wikileaks and whistleblowing.
This is fascism. And I am fucking angry.
There is no fair trial in this country. We have no rights. No right to free speech. No right to a free press. No human rights and no right to A FAIR TRIAL.
They have just proven they can take them away at any fucking time they want.
It's long past fucking time the #GiletsJaunes movement hit the UK in a big way. I'm ready to take to the streets and take back our rights by force.
