Free Julian Assange: Snowden, Varoufakis, Corbyn & Tariq Ali Speak Out Ahead of Extradition Hearing

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.

Why is the PM and government of Australia so silent on a mstter that needs their help affecting its own citizen?

[@petergraham8415]

Because of USA because of past loyalties and relationship. USA has huge influence over Australia. Australians ¿??

Thank you, sharing and doing everything I can think of. All this is terrifying in so many ways, and yet, to not say or do anything is more terrifying! Love to all!

Thanks very much for doing this Amy. Your platform carries significant weight, and has done for me for a very long time, and in doing this you step outside ... for that you once more earn my respect.

[@Rubylove48]

What did she do? this was covered on multiple channels. She refuses to have Glenn greenwald or other people who defend freedom of speech on her show. She has also propagated a false narrative about Russian interference in us elections.

@@Rubylove48 FYI I support Glenn, he follows an accurate line. Why would I wish to cancel either of them when they do something correct. Think very carefully about the line you are walking here...

[@Rubylove48]

@@marksharman8029 Wow. That’s very threatening. you didn’t answer my actual critique of why you are praising Amy in reporting this case but chose to respond to a criticism I made of her platform. you are not my parent nor my schoolteacher, in fact I left school a long time ago so you probably should check your condescending tone if you want to have a conversation of substance with an adult. but I am not surprised because talking down to me while being a sycophant to Amy goes hand in hand with someone who kowtows to conspicuous power. I am not afraid of you or your threats. I have played in the big leagues and I am still breathing. Good luck with your threats. 🥂

[@marksharman8029]

@@Rubylove48 she gave air time to the forthcoming re-trial of Julian Assange. Valuable time. As to a threat, not at all. Your country your responsibility. I simply think that cancel culture promotes the opportunity for the very dodgy misinformation mechanism to promote "divide and conquer" mentality. I think any mindful person willing to negate a positive action, is involved, wittingly or unwittingly, in the problems we all face in the world. You should be thinking about how you harm progress through negating the positive people who have a different, though similar, mindset can do. Step out of your culture and view the discussions you are involved in, from a global perspective. I look forward to seeing if you have understood this, or whether you will continue to try and gaslight this response. We both know there was and is no threat in what I originally said.

What is the difference between a child going to a parent and expressing danger or criminality and the child being murdered due to communication. Silence IS NOT GOLDEN.

We don't. Public memory fades, or more likely gets distracted by charades, and the wealthy keep rolling along on their psychotic patterns of abuse. Is Guantanamo closed yet? How about all black sites all over the planet where American government employees are torturing people as we speak?

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.

[@BernieHollandMusic]

Every word you write - a glistening nugget of truth in a world of corruption and deceit. USA, Australia and Unite Kingdom have now created a new alliance of evil called AUKUS, all powered by NATO, the North Atlantic Terrorist Organisation, now swanning around in the Pacific, bent on further mischief in stoking up a conflict with China.
