While Joe Biden is “considering” dropping the prosecution against #Assange , maybe Anthony Albanese should be “considering” dropping his own criminal prosecutions against truth tellers in Australia. #PressFreedom #whistleblower #auspol

Today marks five years that #WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been imprisoned in the U.K. He is currently fighting against extradition to the U.S. where he would face prosecution on charges that would strike a blow to press freedom globally.

📢 We urge President Biden to follow…

“Beyond our immediate and urgent concerns for Julian #Assange , his extradition and prosecution by the US would set a global precedent for the suppression of #PressFreedom and would constitute an assault on the public’s right to know.' says #MEAAmedia President Karen Percy.

I am safe. But so many #HongKong journalists aren’t. It is crucial that we keep up the fight for #PressFreedom .

Thank you to my RSF team and colleagues around the world for your support & concern about my well-being following my recent detention and deportation from HK.

“If we’re going to free the world, we have to free Assange.”
- Edward Snowden
