Julian Assange

 

Mexico shows more concern for Julian Assange than his own home country Australia.   Sam Varghese (IT WIRE) explains:

But while a country so far away, and on the US border too, is doing this, it is passing strange that Australia, the country of which Assange is a citizen, is doing little or nothing to push for his freedom, his brother, Gabriel Shipton told iTWire on Friday.

Shipton, who is in Mexico at the moment, said there had been conflicting messages from the Albanese government which had, prior to being elected, hinted that quiet diplomacy would be undertaken to gain Assange's freedom.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hinted before the election that Assange's protracted judicial proceedings should be ended. When he was asked about it after the election, he responded that diplomacy was not conducted over a megaphone.

Shipton said Albanese's words about his brother were more or less "an election promise". But at the beginning of August, when Labor Senator Don Farrell had been contacted to inquire if any moves had been made towards freeing Assange, he had said Australia could not interfere in court proceedings of other countries, a similar statement to that which was made by the previous Morrison government on more than one occasion.


Mexico has taken a brave stand.  Joe Mellor (THE LONDON ECONOMIC) reports:


Julian Assange’s brother hopes an award given to the WikiLeaks founder by Mexico is an important step in the campaign to free him.

Gabriel Shipton accepted the so-called ‘keys to Mexico City’ on behalf of his brother amid increasing efforts to persuade authorities in the UK, US and Australia to release Assange from prison.

Australian Assange, 51, has been in London’s Belmarsh prison since being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy in 2019 and is fighting a long-running legal battle to avoid extradition to the US.

calls on Biden to #FreeAssangeNOW. Mexico has shown Julian profound generosity, solidarity, humanity. It is the opposite of the suffering and inhumanity inflicted on him for so long. Thank you. #Assange


Joe Biden continues to persecute Julian.  Fish Pimp Tweets:

Biden is a fascist, bro. Sorry that you can't tell the difference. 5 policies that make Biden a fascist - Ministry of Truth - vax mandates/passports - $60 billion for Nazis fighting Russia - using FBI as Gestapo - prosecution of dissident journalist Julian Assange


and:


Only an imbecile would send $60 billion to Nazis in Ukraine. Meanwhile Joe Biden, the fascist, is persecuting journalist Julian Assange for exposing US war crimes.
