This morning, the WSWS posted a statement by SEP (Australia) National Secretary James Cogan, "Lift the ban on communications! Free Julian Assange!" Please read the statement and help promote it by:
- Sharing it on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, etc).
- Sending it to your co-workers and friends. Urge them to sign up for this newsletter at wsws.org/endcensorship
- Printing it out and distributing it at your school or workplace.
The Socialist Equality Party, the Australian section of the ICFI, has
called a demonstration in Sydney for 1:00 p.m. on Sunday, June 17 at the
Sydney Town Hall Square. It is being held in conjunction with acclaimed
journalist and filmmaker John Pilger, an unwavering defender of
WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, media freedom and democratic rights.
The demonstration has also been endorsed by prominent civil liberties attorney Julian Burnside and
by Terry Hicks, who waged a five-year struggle against the imprisonment
of his son, David Hicks, in the hell-hole US prison camp at Guantanamo
Bay.
Musician Roger Waters of
Pink Floyd fame, who has for decades spoken out against war and
injustice, has sent the WSWS a message of support endorsing action to
defend WikiLeaks. On the stage of his concerts in Berlin over the
weekend he posted the call: “Resist the Attempted Silencing of Julian
Assange.” |
