Julian Assange is now in immediate danger. He is trapped in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London. The Ecuadorean Government of Lenin Moreno has blocked all visitors except his lawyers and all communication with the outside world. The Ecuadorean Government has made it clear they want Julian out of the Embassy as soon as possible. June 19th marks the sixth year anniversary of Julian fleeing into the Embassy to avoid arrest and likely extradition to the United States to face Espionage charges. There is a conspiracy by the Imperialist powers including Britain, the United States and Julian’s home country of Australia to railroad him into prison or death as a punishment for his fearless commitment to exposing the crimes of the powerful.
This threat to Julian must be met by a powerful response from the working class to demand his immediate freedom and protection from extradition to the United States. The World Socialist Website sums up why this struggle is so vital:
“This movement by masses of workers against inequality, oppression and class exploitation is, by its very logic, bound up with the fight to defend democratic rights and the struggle against war.The recent strike wave by teachers in the US has demonstrated that access to the Internet and the exchange of information is a critical condition for the development of the class struggle. It is not only that the working class is important to the defense of democratic rights, but democratic rights are vital to the working class! In order to organize and take forward their struggles, workers must be able to freely communicate, express their views, and, most importantly of all, know the truth. This connection must be made conscious, and thus the basis for a struggle.” – The working class must mobilize to free Julian Assange!- World Socialist Website May 30th 2018
Protests have been called around the globe around the anniversary of Julian entering the Embassy including in London, Ireland and the United States. Details of Australian protests are provided below:
