UNAC: “Julian Assange has now been charged with espionage – Free Julian Assange and Chelsea Manning”
The US has charged Julian Assange with espionage, and he now faces life in prison for telling the truth about U.S. war crimes. Assange is not a US citizen; so, if these charges hold, journalists anywhere in the world who tell the truth about the United States can be subject to prosecution if the U.S. decides the information is “classified.” In recent years, the U.S. has routinely classified information about illegal and unpopular acts committed by its military as a way of hiding them from the public. This prosecution will have a chilling effect on all investigative reporting; it is the most severe violation of freedom of speech we have seen in decades.
Sign the petition to drop the charges against Julian Assange and Free Chelsea Manning.
