Stop the extradition of Julian Assange to the US
Julian Assange is being politically prosecuted by the US for releasing footage of US soldiers killing civilians in Iraq and other confidential information on Wikileaks, a website he set up in 2006.
Since the US constitution protects the freedom of the press, Julian Assange is accused by the US for 'assisting' in stealing confidential information and by the UK for 'failing to surrender' under a European Arrest Warrant issued by Sweden for sexual assault charges that have since been dropped.
