The Fight To Free Julian Assange
Start: Thursday, January 18, 2024• 6:30 PM
End: Thursday, January 18, 2024• 9:00 PM
The UK High Court has confirmed that a public hearing will take place on 20-21 February 2024. The two-day hearing may be the final chance for Julian Assange to prevent his extradition to the United States. If extradited, Assange faces a sentence of 175 years for exposing war crimes committed by the United States in the Afghan and Iraq wars.
To hype up the global support and to hear the latest update on the Assange case join this public rally on 18 January where you can hear the latest from Julian's wife Stella, UK MPs David Davis, Jeremy Corbyn and Richard Burgon, and Alexei Sayle.
There is no press without the protection to operate freely. Julian’s
case is a landmark moment; the UK needs to decide if it wishes to be a
haven for free press or if it wishes to be complicit in the degradation
of a core value of our democracy
