❗️If not for the efforts of people around the world demanding his freedom,” Marjorie Cohn, dean of the People’s Academy of International Law and former president of the National Lawyers Guild, told Truthdig, “Julian Assange would still be in custody, facing a cruel extradition to the U.S. where he would be held in inhumane conditions, denied a fair trial and likely spend the rest of his life behind bars.”
The campaign to draw attention to the Assange case and build a worldwide effort to “Free Assange” is one of the most impressive international protests movements in the history of press freedom.
It has been led by Stella Assange, Julian’s wife; his father John Shipton; his brother Gabriel Shipton; his legal team in the U.K. and Pollack, his U.S. attorney.
