Free Julian Assange! Instead “US talks sound death knell for Australian diplomacy in region” | Daryl Guppy


U.S. Foreign Secretary Anthony Blinken in Australia recently arrogantly dismissed Australian requests for Julian Assange to be brought back to Australia from his jail in the U.K. where he awaits extradition to the U.S. for doing what? For doing journalism. 

The principle at stake is the Pentagon Papers Principle — revelation by the New York Times of internal documents showing U.S. war crimes.

Australia has points of pressure against the U.S.. I has leverage. But refuses to use any. 

Our government has failed to make the demand sufficiently strongly.

We must demand! FREE ASSANGE!
