Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire on Julian Assange

"I know of no other country where an asylee is held with no sunlight, no exercise, no visitors, no computer, no phone calls; this is happening in the heart of London, to an innocent man..."

The Assange case sets a precedent for dealing with whistleblowers in the West: if they can do it to him, they can and will do it to anyone.

Everyone, regardless of political inclination or bias, must take Maguire's advice and stand in solidarity with Wikileaks to safeguard press protections from US empire.
