The Assange Case: What next?
2021 got off to a dramatic start with the excellent news that the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States has been rejected by a judge at the Old Bailey. This is a hard fought victory for the campaigners and activists who have worked tirelessly for Assange’s release. The very same judge unjustifiably refused to grant Assange bail in view of the US appeal against the decision.
Organized by Stop the War Coalition Liverpool branch, this meeting to discuss the next steps of the campaign to free Assange is now even more important as it is again up to us to demand his immediate release from Belmarsh Prison.
Speakers:
John McDonnell - British politician, former Shadow Chancellor
Kristinn Hrafnsson - Editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks
Deepa Driver - Heldane Society court reporter
Alan Gibbons - Author, secretary for Liverpool Walton CLP
