Understanding the Swedish case
After a visit in Sweden in 2010 Julian Assange was accused of sexual misconduct by two women there. Then started a long series of legal battles intended to shed light and bring justice to all parties in this case when in fact only the injustice grew thicker, with Assange being vilified as a rapist in the press when he had never been charged with any crime. Assange always claimed his innocence, all the while continuing to collaborate with the investigation even when he was in political asylum inside the Ecuadorian embassy and limited in movements for fear of an extradition to the US. The questionable way the investigation was conducted, the years of legal procrastination and irregularities that followed were neither fair to the women nor to Assange. They were in fact detrimental, instrumental only to the political persecution of the WikiLeaks founder. UN rapporteur on torture Nils Melzer even concluded this investigation “was the primary factor that triggered, enabled and encouraged the subsequent campaign of sustained and concerted public mobbing and judicial persecution against Mr. Assange in various countries, the cumulative effects of which can only described as psychological torture.” The investigation is now closed for the third time, for lack of evidence.

Emerge Heart
A Spontaneous crowd of international artists joined forces in support of Julian Assange as the UK court considers his extradition to the USA where he faces 175 years in jail. Through analog hacking of murals, performances, photography, drawings and video they stand in solidarity with whistleblowers, journalists and activists being brutally repressed. They are telling these stories in hope to inspire a broad discussion about press freedom and the fragile boundaries of our democracies. https://emergeheart.info/
