Prevent the extradition of Julian Assange to America.
“The British government must not accede to the US extradition request for Julian Assange as he faces a real risk of serious human rights violations if sent there.
The US should have no jurisdiction to call for the extradition of a non US citizen for alleged crimes committed outside of the US.
This is a clear attack on the kind of journalistic publication that exposes the criminal activities of our own governments.
No-one is above the law and no person should be criminalised for reporting crimes.
Part of the background text was taken from Amnesty International
