Do not extradite Julian Assange to the United States of America
Julian Assange is due to be extradited to the USA for publishing Wikileaks. This is setting a dangerous precedent for journalists who challenge the status quo, and limits freedom of speech against powerful elites and governments.
The UN have moved against the arbitrary detention of Assange and recommend his release, as well as compensation for his deprivation of liberty (February 2016).

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
This is a decision for the courts, which are independent of the UK Government and Parliament.
