subject” line, and in your message, copy and paste the petition below.
If we cannot save Julian Assange, we cannot save ourselves.
To her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II
To the House of Lords
To the House of Commons
We the undersigned respectfully call on the appropriate authorities
of the United Kingdom to immediately release Julian Assange, citizen of
Australia and Ecuador, from Belmarsh prison where he is being unjustly
and cruelly incarcerated.
Julian Assange is not charged with any crime or even misdemeanor in
Britain, and has fully served his sentence for his single offense:
jumping bail to avoid extradition to the United States via Sweden.
He was not and is not charged for any crime in Sweden. The sole charges
against him originate in the United States, on purely political grounds,
aimed at punishing Julian Assange for publication of accurate
information provided by informed sources. This is a regular practice of
all mainstream media, which now shamefully fail to speak out in defense
of Mr. Assange, even when they published exactly the same information
that he did.
It is quite clear that in their current treatment of Julian Assange,
the United Kingdom is debasing itself as a mere instrument of political
repression exercised by the United States. Our confidence in the judicial system and in the media is very seriously shaken.
Your Majesty, Members of Parliament,
The current imprisonment of Julian Assange is a blot on the nation’s
judicial system, a disgrace to British decency. This scandal may be
largely hidden today but will surely emerge in history unless measures
are taken immediately by the highest representatives of the British
people to correct this major injustice.
We appeal to your sense of justice and of national honor to uphold
the best traditions of British democracy and respect for human rights by
immediately freeing Julian Assange.
Respectfully,
