Watch the DC Press Club, Belmarsh Tribunal, January 20, 1 pm CT

Inspired by the Russell-Sartre Tribunals of the Vietnam War, the Belmarsh Tribunal brings together a range of expert witnesses – from constitutional lawyers, to acclaimed journalists and human rights defenders – to present evidence of the attack on publishers and to seek justice for the crimes they expose.

This tribunal will occur in person at the Washington DC Press Club at 1 p.m. Central Time, but you can also sign up for the live-stream at the link below. This event is sponsored by Progressive International, DiEM25, the Nation, Democracy Now!, the Courage Foundation and others.

The speakers will be moderated by Amy Goodman and include Katrina vanden Heuval, the ACLU's Ben Wizner, Stella Assange, Daniel Ellsberg, Jeremy Corbyn and many other notables.

"I am Assange!" Daniel Ellsberg, Other Allies Demand US Prosecute Them, Too

from Newsweek, By Shaun Waterman On 12/15/22 at 6:00 AM EST

Julian Assange is having a Spartacus moment.

Veteran Pentagon whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg and government transparency advocate John Young are challenging the U.S. Department of Justice to prosecute them alongside the Wikileaks founder, saying they broke the law just as he did, by publishing or possessing a trove of classified documents.

Daniel Ellsberg says, “Charge me too!” in the Case against Julian Assange

Posted by · December 15, 2022 11:34 AM

From Democracy Now! yesterday: Daniel Ellsberg and Cryptome's John Young ask the Justice Department to prosecute them along with Julian Assange. Ellsberg says that he was given a backup to ALL the files whose possession Julian Assange is now charged with and that he should also be charged with possession of them. Ellsberg also makes the case that any reader of the New York Times of their stories about the WikiLeaks files for which they received Pulitzer prizes is also guilty under the charges against Assange.

CANDLES for ASSANGE VIGIL IN MILWAUKEE

CANDLES for ASSANGE VIGIL

Saturday, December 10, 6:45 PM

ZAO MKE Church at 2319 E. Kenwood Blvd (across from the UWM Student Union)

We will join activists around the world holding similar vigils. So far, in the US, we have heard of such actions planned this Saturday in NY City, Boston, Washington DC, Tulsa, Los Angeles, and Seattle. As we find out about others, we will let you know.

Bundle up against the cold and we will sing songs and discuss this case.

A New York City Vigil will be held on Dec 10, 2022, with Roger Waters, Assange Attorney and Author, Margaret Kunstler, Environmental activist Steve Donziger, Consortium News Editor- in-Chief Joe Lauria, Grayzone Editor Max Blumenthal, Nick Brana and others.)

By the way, you probably know that Elon Musk conducted a poll on Twitter asking whether Assange and Snowden should be pardoned. (Julian has not been convicted so what he really needs is the charges dropped.) After more than 3,300,000 votes, the answer was 80.5% of respondents said "YES" ! That result shows the enormous support for Julian around the world.

Assange Defense MKE

I hope you will be able to join us! If you are able to, please let Ann know at [email protected] or call her at 414-238-3903.
