5 ways you can help Julian Assange and WikiLeaks

 

1. Contact the British government

Write to the UK government asking them to:

• adhere to international law and guarantee Assange's safe passage to Ecuador;

• respect the sovereignty of the Ecuador Embassy in London;

• urge the Swedish prosecutors to accept Ecuador’s invitation to interview Assange about the sexual assault allegations in the embassy; and

• recognise the evidence that a grand jury has been set up in the US for the purpose of indicting Assange for his work with WikiLeaks, and that he could face the death penalty if sent to trial.

2. Contact Australian High Commissioner in London:

Tell him the Australian government should:

• act as third party in negotiations for Assange’s safe passage from the UK to Ecuador;

• seek written guarantees from the UK and Sweden that neither country will agree to extradite Assange to the US;

• state publicly that Assange is a journalist and should not be prosecuted by any state for his work with WikiLeaks;

• guarantee that if Assange returns to Australia he will not be extradited from here to the US; and

• PM Gillard should retract her prejudicial remarks about Assange as per the Senate resolution calling on her to do so.

4. Keep WikiLeaks strong

WikiLeaks is a not-for-profit media organisation entirely supported by donations from the public. WikiLeaks’ aim is simple: justice through transparency. In publishing evidence of war crimes and corruption on a global scale, through their website www.wikileaks.org, the organisation has given us the information we need to hold governments to account. WikiLeaks’ releases also give us a broader understanding of how power is exercised in our name, and thereby the means we need to work towards a just society for all.

Please help WikiLeaks continue its vital work: visit shop.wikileaks.org/donate

Poster for Sydney Oct 6 Rally: Don't shoot the Messenger, Troops out of Afghanistan

Rally for Assange and WikiLeaks: Don’t Shoot the Messenger

11 years too long: troops out of Afghanistan NOW !

Over two years ago WikiLeaks released the Afghan War Diary, an extraordinary compendium of over 91,000 reports covering the war in Afghanistan from 2004 to 2010.

Now, as we near the 11th anniversary of the war on October 7, both WikiLeaks and Julian Assange remain under attack for daring to reveal the truth about the bloodshed in Afghanistan as well as in other conflicts around the globe.

The Australian Government has completely abandoned Assange in deference to the US alliance and UK authorities are threatening to disregard international law and prevent Assange from travelling to Ecuador.

We need WikiLeaks more than ever if we are to fully understand, and so act against, the continuing cycle of corruption, abuse of power and war mongering.

Join us to demand safe passage for Assange, an end to the witchhunt against WikiLeaks, and an end to the “war on terror”.

Speakers:
Lee Rhiannon, Greens Senator
Antony Loewenstein, independent journalist and author
Christine Keavney, Sydney Stop the War CoalitionMore TBA!

5 ways you can help Julian Assange and WikiLeaks

1. Contact Australian politicians

Write to your Federal MP: ask them what they’re doing to help Julian Assange. If you’re not satisfied with
the response, request a meeting with them: it’s your democratic right.
Contact relevant government members. Tell them the Australian government should:

• act as third party in negotiations for Assange’s safe passage from the UK to Ecuador;

• seek written guarantees from the UK and Sweden that neither country will agree to extradite Assange to the US;

• state publicly that Assange is a journalist and should not be prosecuted by any state for his work with WikiLeaks;

• guarantee that if Assange returns to Australia he will not be extradited from here to the US; and

• PM Gillard should retract her prejudicial remarks about Assange as per the Senate resolution calling on her to do so.
