Dear, His Royal Highness Prince William,
We hope this letter reaches you well and please pass on our collective best wishes to your father His Majesty King Charles III for a full recovery and return to duties when he and if he sees fit.
This petition includes over 788,000 Signatories, of which over 120,000 are Citizens of Britain and over 260,000 are Citizens of Australia. The Free Julian Assange, before it’s too late petition embodies and includes a formal request for a Royal Prerogative Power of Mercy (RPPM) to free Julian Assange.
We understand that a RPPM can only be applied after a conviction, however in this case we wish to update His Royal Highness Prince William that a clear and present perversion of the British legal system is being established in this case. In the administration of this case, we witness a foreign power (US Government) and without a conviction, having Julian Assange in solitary confinement 23 hours a day for the past 4 year 10 months. The perversion of due legal process in this case by an external entity (US Government) goes against the principal safeguards to a constitutional Sovereign as Head of State.
Julian Assange is an Australian Citizen, a publisher and a journalist. The United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture determined and officially notified the British government that Julian Assange is being subjected to cruel and degrading treatment amounting to a verified case of psychological torture in His Majesty’s Prison Belmarsh.
This RPPM request to free Julian Assange and to stop the extradition process is applied in accordance with the procedural precedent established within this case by the US Government (extradition applicant). Noting that the applicant (The US Government) for extradition had a “sealed” pre-emptively administered extradition request with the British Government’s Foreign Office. This was unsealed the moment Julian Assange was forcible removed from political asylum in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

We understand that an extradition order by the court can result in Julian Assange’s immediate extradition and it is in this situation where this “pre-emptively” and un-sealed administered RPPM request should be exercised by His Royal Highness Prince William as the responsible Head of State. Noting also that given His Majesty currently in recovery and this matter may require urgent attention if in-fact a mistake in precedent law is made by a possible British court determination that Julian Assange is to be extradited to the USA for up to 175 years of psychological torturing to his death.
Detail: On Feb, 20 and 21 the UK High Court is scheduled to hear an application by Julian Assange, who is seeking leave to appeal an April 2023 Court Ruling that he be extradited from The UK to the USA. We declare that the establishment of a legal precedent of extradition in this case would be a mistake. There have been clear and present perversions of the British legal system in this case.
Julian Assange is an Australian Citizen and the Prime Minister of Australia Hon Anthony Albanese is a Signatory to this Petition. He has repeatedly stated that “Enough is enough and this matter need to be brought to a close”. This extradition is politically motivated, hence goes against the essence of the Extradition agreement between Britain and the USA. An extradition is a “Mistake” in law.
Mr Julian Assange is currently being detained and is identified as Mr Julian Assange D.O.B: 3/07/1971 HPM Belmarsh, Western Way London SE28 OEB UK. This document encompasses a formal plea to pardon any matter that may impede the freeing of Mr Julian Assange. This formal plea is presented in the interests of Human Rights, Democracy, British legal sovereignty and in the interests of a constitutional Sovereign. Please permit and apply a Royal Prerogative Power of Mercy (RPPM) so that Mr Julian Assange may be freed and stop the USA Extradition precedent establishment process.
We believe this matter meets the criteria for a Royal Prerogative of Mercy to be considered for application by His Royal Highness (Acting Head of State) Prince William. The effect of which is requested to be a Free Pardon on the basis of one or all of the following criteria.
1) It is impractical given the particulars of this case for it to be referred to an appellate court for reasons of persistence of psychological trauma by prolonged imprisonment. Free Julian Assange.
2) New evidence has arisen, that has not been before the court, which demonstrates beyond any doubt that Julian Assange’s case has been compromised due to secret recordings, the seizure of his personal legal notes and case files and those seized legal and medical files were then delivered to the USA prosecution. Fraudulent evidence from a key witness of the prosecution was also entered into the court proceedings.
3) A “mistake in precedent law” will occur if the courts allow for an extradition of Julian Assange who is an Australian Citizen. Julian Assange did not publish in the USA, Julian Assange published in Britain and Europe and the USA has no right to extradite or torture Julian Assange to death, in Britain.
To further justify for a RPPM we reference precedent law: R v Foster (Barry) [1985] QB 115; [1984] 3 W.L.R. 401]. Where it was held that the effect of a free pardon was to remove from the subject of the pardon “all pains, penalties, and punishments whatsoever that from the said conviction may ensue” but not to eliminate the conviction itself. By this we request that Julian Assange be free to leave the British prison system and not be concerned with the particulars of a USA 1917 Espionage law, which has no relevance to non US Citizens of the world.

We request the RPPM be considered as in the case of Bentley [1994] QB 349 Watkins L.J commented that the RPPM power is: “A flexible power and its exercise can and should be adapted to meet the circumstances of the particular case … the prerogative of mercy [can no longer be regarded as] no more than an arbitrary monarchical right of grace and favour. It is now a constitutional safeguard against mistakes.” [1994] QB 349 at 365. As the case against Mr Julian Assange demonstrates.
Application of the doctrine is found in Watkins L.J judgment in the Court of Appeal in Bentley where he declared: “We understand the strength of the argument that, despite the fact that a free pardon does not eliminate the conviction, a grant of a free pardon should be reserved for cases where it can be established that the convicted person was morally and technically innocent.” [1994] QB 349 at 364E.
The December 24, 2013 and in the sixty second year of the great rein of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (may she rest in peace), Her Majesty QEII granted “Alan Mathison Turing a Free Pardon posthumously in respect of the said convictions”. Noting this was of course over 60 years after Alan Mathieson Turing suicided 1954 after a conviction in 1952 for a homosexual act. In the case of Julian Assange, we would wish His Royal Highness to exercise a RPPM if necessary, before Julian Assange is psychologically tortured to death and immediately if the British court establishes a mistake in precedent law by way of allowing extradition of Julian Assange from Britain to the USA.
Similar cases: In the public interest Alan Mathison Turing was important because he shortened WWII by cracking the German Nazi code. Arguable in the same way Assange shortened the Iraq and Afghan wars. Turing was highly influential in the development of computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation and these concepts enabled him to assist Britain defeat the Nazi’s in WWII. (Wiki). In a similar way Julian Assange understood and pioneered of information encryption allowed Britain to shorten and end its involvement in the Iraq and Afghan wars.
We the 788,000 Signatories, of which over 120,000 are Citizens of Britain, over 260,000 are Australian Citizens collectively and respectfully request the Justice Secretary of Britain allow rapid passage of this Prerogative of Mercy (RPPM) application to His Royal Highness Prince William and also to His Majesty King Charles III. We wish to highlight that the requirements for an RPPM have been met and further that Mr Julian Assange’s overall health and wellbeing is being permanently damaged. We make this formal request for a Royal Prerogative Power of Mercy from His Royal Highness Prince William as Acting responsible Monarchical Head of State of Britain and the Commonwealth of Australia to immediately free Julian Assange and allow him to return to the love and care of his and young children and family.
We wish to thank you in advance of your consideration of this extremely important matter.
