Assange Censorship Brings Upon Live Stream Vigil For Support

Julian Assange is now a pillar in an emerging mass-online movement to improve journalism as a whole and spread the truth on different governmental issues. He is now trapped living in the UK, at the Ecuadorian embassy with no Internet connection in a small room. It's also being reported he has different illnesses and health conditions from the restrictions put upon him. Julian has become entangled in a legal battle between different countries including the USA, UK and Ecuador. One of the reasons for this harsh treatment by media and government is almost undoubtedly that Wikileaks leaked classified data to journalists.

The past few weeks have been even more difficult than normal for Assange. Because of cellular blocking and his host Ecuador cutting off his internet connection , no way exists for anyone to contact him other than written mail. This is a problem as it shows a shift in geopolitical stance with his unique situation. Fellow steemian @suzi3d is live streaming an event this weekend to bring awareness to Julian's ongoing entrapment. If you would like to watch the stream click here.
