STOP THE U.S. EXTRADITON OF ASSANGE!<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This U.S. prosecution of a journalist is a death blow to the First Amendment.
Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, published the 2010 Iraq War Logs, showing evi- dence of U.S. war crimes.
These documents won international journalism and peace awards.
Assange \u201cpublished,\u201d he did not \u201chack.\u201d Witnesses testified in September 2020, that As- sange was careful to redact names.
Pentagon testified in 2013 that these documents put no one in harm\u2019s way. WIKILEAKS HAS 100% ACCURACY!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
