  • As jailed WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces an extradition hearing Wednesday in London, supporters gathered Friday for the Belmarsh Tribunal, named for the Belmarsh maximum security prison where Assange is being held. The mock trial highlighted major WikiLeaks revelations of U.S. war crimes and demanded Assange’s freedom. Assange faces up to 175 years in prison in the U.S. under the Espionage Act for publishing classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes. Though a British judge blocked his extradition in January, the U.S. appealed the decision. We feature speakers from the tribunal, including writer Tariq Ali, Afghan political activist Selay Ghaffar, NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and former Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn. “Julian, far from being indicted, should actually be a hero,” said Ali. “He should never have been kept in prison for bail. He should not be in prison now awaiting a trial for extradition. He should be released.” We also hear from Srećko Horvat, philosopher and Belmarsh Tribunal chair; Ewen MacAskill, former Guardian journalist; and Stella Morris, partner of Julian Assange.

The reason Assange wasn't offered protection by Russia should tell you something as well. Lot's of shitty stuff happened in the late 80's, so smelly that neither of the big ones want us - the bottom liners also called citizens by the elected politics, to find one day about their peacefully quite deal for who, what and how to rule the next 50Y

      I am trying to find justifications in my mind but then I see the comments made and change my mind.
      It is difficult for all of us, this gangs all over the world ruling it, ours and yours we need to demand stoping political correctness and replace it with at least honesty as the basis of giving respect to the politicians otherwise we will let this lunis keep controlling the world and say we are doing this for our people.

    Noam Chomsky has always said, and I'm paraphrasing, you are free say anything you like about government corruption etc. until people start to listen. Once your words begin creating waves of any significance, "they" will come after you. I am an Australian who lives in the U.S., have been here a long time, and hold citizenship. I just want to say, wearing my Aussie hat, that I'm very proud of Julian and thoroughly disgusted with the Australian government, which is nothing more than a U.S. lapdog. That writing has always been on the wall and has peaked at times such as the Korean and Vietnam wars, the building of "sealed" U.S. bases Down Under, and the occasion when the CIA brought down the very progressive Whitlam government in the 1970s. I feel terrible for all persecuted whistleblowers and falsely convicted radicals (e.g. former Black Panthers) who are punished without mercy, while the cowards with their hands on the levers parade around in white hats and call on us to be patriots. I don't have any interest in patriotism beyond certain cultural aspects, which include the indigenous peoples. Like so many people now, I consider myself a citizen of the world; believe borders should be eliminated; and until the planet is dominated by peace, kindness, and unity, the days will become darker and the end draw nearer at an increasingly rapid rate.
