#Belgium🇧🇪: We are attending today the #AssangeDay event organised in Brussels to call on the Belgian government to:

1⃣: Recognise #JulianAssange as a political prisoner
2⃣: Send observers to his trial
3⃣: Grant him protection
4⃣: Do its utmost to avoid his extradition to the US "We are receiving lots of support from all over the world, also in Europe. Recently, the @coe voted unanimously that Julian should not be extradited and that he must be immediately freed. All these actions are very important. Thank you"
