Dear friends in the struggle to free Julian Assange!
Many thanks for all who joined the Trump Protest and attended our first JADC Organising meeting!
The US Department of Justice is preparing to file additional charges against the WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange on top of the 18 charges under the Espionage Act already brought against him potentially carrying 175 years imprisonment. The charges will be revealed during the 3rd extradition hearing this Friday 14th of June at Westminster Magistrates Court, Court room 3. Please join us in solidarity with Julian Assange outside the Court. A number of actions are organised this week.
