and blatant illegalities."


 

Daniel Ellsberg (USA)

"As Julian is today, I, too, was

subject to trial and conviction in

the eyes of our Department of

Justice by a wrongful and

unconstitutional reading of

the Espionage Act."


 

 

Paul Jay (Canada)

journalist (theAnalysis.news)

and documentary filmmaker:

"They’re hoping [that their

judicial persecution of Julian]

will intimidate real

investigative journalism."



 

 

Gabriel Shipton (Australia)

cineast, film producer:

"We live in fear that Julian will

die in Belmarsh Prison, there

were three suicides there

in the last year."

showing Assange, Manning and
