Hi All,
I hope you are all well.
We delivered Petition Notice 28 to the Foreign Minister, Prime Minister and all 226 Parliamentarians. The copy of the script is pasted at the end of this message. Also see below how to get your own personalised link that names you as the promoter of this petition, that you can send to your contacts and promote
We have amassed and huge list of facts to support the Australian Government to secure the Freedom of Julian Assange. The pathway to that freedom can only be guaranteed with the securing of a No Extradition to the USA assurance.
We have delivered all the evidence and justification one could imagine to free an 8 yearlong arbitrarily detained Australian Citizen and Journalist in London, who has not been charged with any crime. This very point still stuns me, to think that this is actually happening today and still he is in that situation. Unbelievable, really unbelievable.
For those interested there is a Unity4J Greece event on Jan. 26, 2019 17:00 Athens time (26th January is Australia Day). I will be part of it. The link will give you the details of how to connect to it. Thankyou to Wayne Hall and the rest of the Unty4J Greece Team for making it happen.

Dear Parliamentarian,
BRISBANE (Jan. 18, 2019) 28,000+ Signatories demand the Australian Government exercise its duty of care towards the Australian Citizen and Journalist, Julian Assange. To clarify; Signatories require the Australian Government secure a guarantee of no USA Extradition for Julian Assange. This will allow Julian Assange to address the Breach of Bail issue and end this matter.
BERLIN (Jan. 17, 2019) Abuse of Julian Assange’s Human Rights raised in the German Bundestag (the German Federal Parliament) https://twitter.com/suigenerisjen/status/1085726216433225728
NEW YORK (Dec. 31, 2018) Trump’s Lawyer, Rudy Giuliani in reference to Julian Assange said;
“It’s a First Amendment issue….Once it gets to the media publication they can publish it, they can publish it for the basis of informing people. You can’t put Assange in a different position, now he was a guy that communicated. We may not like what he communicates but he was a media facility, he was putting that information out, every news station grabbed it and published it….No press person or person disseminating for the purposes of informing did anything wrong.” Source; https://www.facebook.com/foxandfriends/videos/806787466324593/ Watch from 8 min. mark of video.
GENEVA (21 December 2018) “UN Office of High Commissioner experts urge UK to honour rights obligations and let Mr. Julian Assange leave Ecuador embassy in London freely”. https://www.ohchr.org/EN/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=24042&LangID=E
CIA (Nov. 2018) accidental leak confirmed Julian Assange’s unaltered reasoning for seeking asylum: US Gov. secretly conspiring (~ 2010) to extradite Julian for publishing facts as a Journalist.
Find below 19 points that contains additional facts to assist the Australian Government to secure a guarantee of No Extradition to the USA on behalf of over 28,000 Signatories and International Law.
1) Julian Assange is a multi-award winning journalist that has published documented proof of high level crimes & corruption.
2) Julian Assange is an Australian Citizen and Journalist. He has been honoured by his country's highest award for journalism: The Walkley Award & the rare Gold Peace Medal by the Sydney Peace Foundation.
3) Julian has now been arbitrarily detained WITHOUT charge by the UK Govt. for 8 years.
4) In 2012 Ecuador granted Julian political asylum protection from US threats against his life & liberty. US politicians had publicly called for his assassination.
5) After a 16 month investigation, to which lawyers representing Julian, the UK & Sweden, gave written submissions to a UN expert panel of lawyers where it was determined by the United Nations Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner on Feb 5 2016, that Julian Assange's “Arbitrary Detention should be brought to an end and that Mr. Assange should be afforded the right to compensation”.
6) The UK has prevented Julian taking up his political asylum by detaining him in the Ecuador Embassy for the past 6.5 years. The UK states they will arrest him if he leaves the Embassy & refuse to guarantee he will not be extradited to the US.
7) The Wikileaks USA Grand Jury has been sitting since 2010. As Julian is protected under the US #1st Amendment, the US is seeking to prosecute him under the 1917 Espionage Act. He could face 45yrs in prison or the death penalty for publishing facts as a Journalist.
8) For the past 6.5 years Julian has been detained in the Ecuadorian Embassy and the UK has denied his request for access to fresh air, exercise, sun/vitamin D or proper medical or dental care.
9) Examining doctor’s report Julian’s health has seriously deteriorated due to this abuse of his health rights and that Embassy detention conditions are life threatening.
10) The new President of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, (since Jan 2018), appears to have been influenced by US pressure & is now actively assisting to deliver Julian into US hands.
11) In March 2018, President Moreno placed Julian in solitary confinement within the Ecuadorean Embassy. He was allowed no access to a phone, internet or visitors other than his lawyers, for most of 2018.
12) The former President of Ecuador, Rafael Correa, stated that after a visit by US Vice President Mike Pence, an agreement had been made to hand Julian over to the US in exchange for loans. He further stated that as the political cost of expelling Julian from the embassy was too high, the plan was to break him mentally so he would leave.
Moreno then issued a new protocol of rules at the Embassy designed to break Julian.
13) The Wikileaks Grand Jury indictment is not to be unsealed and executed till the subject is first in custody. “In custody” is assumed to be when the UK Breach of Bail matter will be presented.
14) There has been no fair & proper legal process to date for Julian Assange, who is the victim of a political persecution.
15) Top secret documents leaked by Edward Snowden revealed that Julian had been placed on a US manhunting time line in 2010. Further revealing, that on Aug 10 2010, the US National Security Agency secretly asked its war allies to charge Assange with something.
16) On Aug 20 2010, Swedish police issued an arrest warrant in relation to allegations of sexual assault.
17) Wikileaks Grand Jury is conducted in secret, has 4 prosecutors, no defence and no judge.
18) UK/US Bilateral Treaty does not require a prima facie case to extradite a citizen to the US.
19) Under the US National Defence Authorization Act, a person can be held indefinitely without trial.
Julian Assange is an Australian Citizen who has not been charged with any crime and yet has been "arbitrarily” detained for over 8 years and in addition is currently enduring over 286 days of torture in the form of continuous solitary confinement.
Signatories, welcome the politicians from across the political spectrum that have already notified petition administrators of their support. This petition will generate and publish a list of Fame & a List of Shame which will help the 91% (60 Minutes Australia Polling) of Australian voters understand which politician will first support LAW ABIDING Australian Citizens as well as our Journalists.
You know we are peaceful, you know we are just like you and your families. We are Citizens and we will not permit this law abiding Australian Citizen and Journalist to be silenced or assassinated.
Yours Faithfully,
Phillip Adams
