• Hamburg4Assange

Jeden Mittwoch halten wir am Flaggenplatz, Jungfernstieg 17-19 Uhr eine Mahnwache für die Freilassung von Julian Assange. Wir haben Umhängeschilder, Plakate, Masken, Flyer, Info-Material, Sticker, Luftballons, Kaffee und Snacks!

Mit dieser Mahnwache setzen wir jetzt ein Zeichen dafür, damit die Regierungsoberhäupter und insbesondere die britische Gerichtsbarkeit Julian Assange sofort auf freien Fuß setzen.

Da die Gruppe noch sehr stark wachsen wird, brauchen wir noch Helfer für die Organisation.

• Free Assange Nederland

Free Assange Nederland started out in October 2019 and currently has a core team of 3 people. Judging by our last two demonstrations, we can currently gather around 20-25 people and are looking to expand on that by having people use their networks to get us more exposure and support (several of the people who attended our demonstrations have their own specific activist networks). We aim to follow the international action dates with actions of our own.
