Online Vigil in support of Julian Assange
In
a world of divide and conquer, unity is the ultimate act of
resistance. Friends of publisher Julian Assange are bringing together
a diverse group of high-profile supporters of all political stripes
in this online vigil event to advocate for Julian's freedom and
protection.
As
is being widely reported, WikiLeaks’ Editor-In-Chief Julian Assange
has had his human rights of freedom of association and to freely
communicate restricted at the Ecuadorean Embassy, in which he is
arbitrarily detained. This includes the ability for him to receive
visitors, and all phone signals are being electronically jammed.
There
have also been countless reports of an imminent threat to his liberty
in recent weeks, suggesting he is in danger of being expelled from
the embassy and extradited to the United States to face espionage
charges (which can invoke the death penalty). His friends, supporters
and loved ones find this unacceptable and are again coming together
to demand Julian's access to them be restored immediately, his
political asylum respected and his human rights restored.
We
are calling upon members of the public in the UK to undertake
solidarity actions at the Ecuadorian Embassy (3 Hans Crescent,
opposite Harrods. Nearest tube station: Knightsbridge) to show their
support for Julian. Everyone unable to attend the Embassy in person
is encouraged to support these online events to help raise awareness
about Julian's situation.
