 +{{ campaign_material:dont-extradite-assange-uk-poster2web.jpg?200}} **[[julian_assange_and_his_work|Julian Assange]] faces [[Julian Assange extradition case to the US|extradition to the US]], where he risks 175 year in prison for charges based on the US espionage act for his journalistic activities publishing truthful information - exposing war crimes, lies and corruption. He has been detained in isolation in the [[Belmarsh high-security prison]] in London, since April 11th 2019.**
 +
 +Assange's case is emblematic for the methods used against him and his character, along with the multiple violations of international law. It is also dramatic for the precedent his extradition and jailing in the US would set for everyone involved into journalistic and truth-seeking activities.
 +
 +The political and judicial persecution of Assange is part of a wider picture where the actions of many courageous hackers, whistleblowers, journalists and activists are being brutally repressed by violent forces attempting to assert their power.
 +
 +Everyone is invited to take part in enriching this wiki as a document base to empower everyone to get informed and take concrete actions against the extradition of Julian Assange.
 +
 +[[gavin_macfadyen|{{:g-macfadyen_1_g0wwfgz.width-800.jpg?nolink&70 |}}]]As outlined by [[gavin_macfadyen| Gavin MacFadyen]], Assange's friend and mentor, journalists should take risks to expose lies and challenge power. This wiki is dedicated to his loving memory <3

In a rather unusual move, the US are changing the nature of the accusations, while the extradition hearing (trial) is already going on. {{ ::06_24_20_returned_redacted_foreperson_name_0.pdf |Original PDF version}} and [[superseding_indictment_-_24-06-2020| full-text (OCR) version of the superseding indictment]], copy-pastable with table of content and links to sections, sub-sections, etc.
