On November 13th 2010, Burma’s most famous political prisoner, Aung San Suu Kyi, was released from house arrest. She had been confined to her house for almost 15 years. The event provoked an outpouring of feeling across the world. People rejoiced because she had been set free, and her great spirit of endurance was celebrated. And under this all, a great sigh, at the loss of hours and days and years of a life. She had done nothing wrong. Hers was the plight of a political prisoner.

On Tuesday..

We affirm

That Wikileaks is now an integral pillar in the international fourth estate.
That Wikileaks’ work since its foundation demonstrates exigent flaws in the political cultures of our democracies, with dire consequences for domestic and global justice.
That Wikileaks is therefore of critical importance to the cause of reform in our societies, and of critical importance to the maintenance of our freedoms.
That Wikileaks is in fact unsuppressable, and that any attempts to suppress it will not attain their goal, but cause further harm to our legal orders, and to the relationship between the governments and their peoples.
That therefore any attack on Wikileaks or its staff or supporters is to be interpreted as an attack on our political cultures themselves.
We urge

That the Australian government will meet its duty of advocacy for one of its own citizens and defend Julian Assange to the limits of its means.
That governments will recognize Wikileaks as enjoying the same freedoms to communicate information as do we all, as well as those freedoms particular to the press.
That governments will react to Wikileaks, not by further compounding their mistakes, but by resolving to act so as to be beyond reproach.
Finally, we urge that no perversion of justice occurs on December 14th and that the court meet the requirements of justice free from political influence. Julian Assange must not become a hostage to political convenience or expediency. Only a month on from the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, the West must not plunge its own freedoms into the disrepute it so roundly and justly condemns in other parts of the world. This is important, and it involves us all. Proceed with great care. The world is watching.

Go Freedom of speech.

You are welcome. Im doing my part. I will send this to everyone I know. I hope other people do this too.

Please, dont let this message die. Send this to everyone.

Thanks in advance.

They will slander and use character assasination techniques to
get to whomever doesn't play the slave part. The World is watching,
TPTB are grasping at straws and making up stories to try and
convict this man. It is a sad state of affairs if you ask me.

FREE JULIAN ASSANGE will be the peoples battle cry
in the WAR for Free speech. He well could become a martyr.
That would make TPTB quake in their boots for sure.

It was a nice gesture for the military dictatorship there to release her.

Too bad America doesn't release it's political prisoners who've committed no crime. We've actually went the other way and now hold people indefinitely in jail without trial...Now our President is calling for Americans to be killed without even giving them a trial...or a minimum of having some Judge review evidence and approve of our Government killing Americans without a trial.

We're no better than that Dictatorship. Atleast she was left alone in her home while on house arrest. Our Government treats political prisoners much harsher.

Great post..S&F....
I'm pleased to say that I listen to ABC (Government sponsered) Radio here in Australia..
Although they are not controlled by any party..

The reporters are all over the Wikileaks saga and for the most part are saying Julians arrest is politically motivated and that the charges are minor and false..

Also many members of Government here have spoken out in favour of Julian/Wiki..

Go Aussies...Stick it upem..!!!!!!!

But even this is working against them, because they are exposing themselves and showing how deranged they are. Their viciousness, irrationality, hypocisy and disregard for the law is shocking millions and millions.

These people have some real guts.

Reminds me this:

"Remember, remember, the 5th of November
The gunpowder, treason and plot;
I know of no reason, why the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot."

Indeed. If you are a human being living on planet earth in 2010, you have the right measure of the type "democracy" in which we live.

Great news that Kyi has been released.
On the other hand, Assange has a Swiss bank account?
- Money from Soros?

Americans don't want a democracry!
We would like our Republic back however.

reply to post by Asktheanimals


I dont think so.

People are trying to mix water and oil.

They do not mix, they are totally different things.
