    As long as Assange is behind bars, the western freedom of press is behind bars.
    I’m disgusted by all European member states, and especially my own government, who aren’t doing anything against the horrible treatment of Assange and are therefore participants in this crime.
    I know we aren’t the popular mainstream here, but this is the good fight and I am grateful for everyone fighting it. Never shut up about Assange.

      @abdalabi3617 3 года назад +2

      While i completely agree with you, you can look it from another angle: He has gotten stolen years of his life but he is still alive. The CIA killed for much less, the only reason they wanted to keep him alive is to imprison him and get a precedence case in order to fuck anybody up „legally“.

    • @Bisquick
      @Bisquick 3 года назад +2

      ​@@abdalabi3617 I feel like part of it too is to avoid/postpone creating a martyr that could (and should, were it to occur) catalyze revolutionary momentum. To your point though, if that precedent is eventually set, that is the official end of free speech in the US. The silence about all of this from corporate media ironically speaks volumes to how complicit they are in being stenographers for power and never actually transgressing the boundaries set by their masters/potential employers. But of course every hand that feeds is bitten if it steals from hungry mouths.
