For a worldwide campaign to prevent Julian Assange's extradition!

Today, the editorial board of the World Socialist Web Site and the Socialist Equality Parties published a statement calling for an international campaign to mobilize the working class, student youth, artists, journalists and intellectuals to block Julian Assange's rendition to the US and secure his liberation. In the statement, titled, "For a worldwide campaign to prevent Julian Assange's rendition to the US! For the formation of a Global Defense Committee to secure his freedom!" the WSWS wrote: "The World Socialist Web Site and the Socialist Equality Parties affiliated with the International Committee of the Fourth International call for a global campaign to stop WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s extradition to the United States, and to secure both his and whistleblower Chelsea Manning’s freedom. "Only by organizing protest actions on an international scale—meetings, rallies, demonstrations, and public conferences—will it be possible to frustrate and defeat the plans of reactionary governments, their intelligence agencies and political agents to silence and destroy Julian Assange. "The aim of this campaign must be to politically arouse and mobilize the international working class—the overwhelming majority of the population and the most powerful social force on the planet—in defense of Julian Assange and, in fact, the democratic and social rights of all workers." Read full statement The Socialist Equality Party urges you to read today's important statement, share it with friends, family and coworkers and to join the fight to protect Julian Assange. As the statement points out, "No one who is seriously committed to the defense of democratic rights can stand on the sidelines."
