Hi All,

I hope you are all well.

We Just delivered "Petition Notice 18", to the Prime Minister, Foreign Minister and all 226 Parliamentarians that comprise the Australian Government.

Each and everyone has been emailed via their Australian Parliament House Email accounts the Document "Petition Notice 18, Free Julian Assange , before Its too late. The Australian Government is Responsible".

Those Politicians have been notified that we the signatories to this growing movement hold them collectively responsible for Julian Assange's safety and freedom.

I encourage you all to read the script pasted below, noting I am unable to upload the actual document on the Change Petition Update platform due to limitation on the Change platform that are out of our control. I can only upload a portion of a low res image file.

I encourage all of you to get more active to reshare and retweet the petition link, promote it far and wide. We need to Free Julian Assange ASAP. We all need to get active and get serious.

Note I did send Notice 17, to the government on Nov. 27, and did not send ut a Petition Update to you, as I am worried I may be sending you all too many notices and you may get irritated, but I may revert back to the way it was (constant updates to you email) as some wish to know and be constantly updated..

Cheers 

Phil

 Dear Prime Minister & Foreign Minister,

This petition passed 18,000 signatures and is accelerating. We the people will no longer accept the “Arbitrary Detention” and torture of Mr Julian Assange. We demand efforts to immediately facilitate the lawful return of his freedom. We will not permit this hero to be silenced or assassinated.

The cruel and heartless abuse of our internationally acclaimed Journalist and Australian Citizen who has not been charged with any crime must end by way of intervention by the Australian Government. The people can no longer stand by and allow the Australian Government to complicitly permit by way of blatant inaction the fundamental abuse of the most basic human rights of Mr Julian Assange.

It is now on the public record that the government of the USA had secretly conspired to extradite Julian Assange for simply performing the diligent duties of a Journalist. Further to that, reports indicate that the Australian Government may have been aware of this in as far back as 2010.

We notify the Australian Government that we (The Signatories) hold the Australian Government fully responsible for the safety of Julian Assange and the lawful return of his freedom. The Australian Government has had over 6.5 years to act on behalf of this Australian Citizen and the Australian Government has done nothing that the people can identify in the way of meaningful assistance.

Julian Assange is an Australian Citizen who has not been charged with any crime and yet has been "arbitrarily” detained for over 6 years and in addition is currently enduring over 244 days of torture in the form of continuous solitary confinement.  He has been deprived of sunlight, contact with family, contact with the outside world and proper healthcare. The United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner on Feb. 5, 2016 determined that Julian Assange's “Arbitrary Detention should be brought to an end and that Mr. Assange should be afforded the right to compensation”.

In a Democracy it is the legal and overwhelming demands of the people that the government is guided by. Recent polling indicates between 80% & 91% of Australians want the Australian Government to secure Julian Assange’s freedom by guaranteeing no USA Extradition on charges that would contradict the USA’s own Constitution’s 1st Amendment if exercised against a USA Citizen.

We the people demand the Australian Government end this public torture of an Australian Journalist & Free Julian Assange.

Yours Faithfully,

Phillip Adams
