| ====== Jail the War Criminals !====== | |
| <blockquote>If Wars Can Be Started By Lies, Peace Can Be Achieved By Truth </blockquote> | |
| Julian Assange is being wrongly punished for revealing war crimes, but no one has been held accountable for thoses crimes.. | |
| |
| It is time to re-examine the case in the light of the journalist torment. | |
| |
| In 2003, the UK joins the US in the invasion of Iraq , based on lies. (([[https://www.dw.com/en/the-iraq-war-in-the-beginning-was-the-lie/a-43301338|https://www.dw.com/en/the-iraq-war-in-the-beginning-was-the-lie/a-43301338]])) | |

| |
| In 2016, after 7 years of inquiry, the Chicot Report, publishes its conclusion and recognizes that the invasion and subsequent occupation of Iraq was unnecessary and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of individuals as well as the displacement of over 4 million others. | |
| |
| Despite all efforts to prosecute the ones in charge, the High Court of UK, has ruled in 2017 , that there is no crime of aggression in English law under which the former prime minister could be charged. | |
| |
| But the international crime of a war of aggression had been accepted by then UK attorney general Sir Hartley Shawcross QC in the 1940s, at the time of the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war crimes. | |
| |
| The UK government has been given “de facto domestic immunity” because “as long as it fails to enact legislation which makes the crime of aggression a domestic criminal offense, any leader can act as he/she chooses knowing that whatever action they take, it can be taken with complete impunity(Imran Khan, solicitor). | |
| |
| Do Tony Blair and his co-conspirators will ever be held accountable for their lies and theirs consequences onthe life on millions of people ? | |
