Show support for Julian Assange!
In just eight days, Julian Assange’s hearing will take place in the UK High Court.
This will determine whether Julian can appeal an earlier decision, allowing the UK Government to extradite him.
If the High Court refuses to allow Julian to appeal, then Julian will have no further legal avenues in the UK.
He could be extradited to the US within 24 hours.
In late January, Julian’s brother, Gabriel Shipton, warned of the urgency of Julian’s case.
“He’s spent the last 13 years in one form of detention or another, the last five in a maximum security prison [in London],” he said.
“[In the US], he could be put into a supermax prison […] And that is complete isolation. There is no contact with the outside world. Kept in solitary confinement, essentially all the time. Those conditions drive people insane.”
Please make some noise in your part of the world in support of Julian Assange.

Too bad this photo does not have a soundtrack where we would hear you, Bruce, making a bunch of noise in support of Assange. We were standing outside an event at Bowdoin about their alumnus Gershkovich who was arrested for spying in Russia while working for the Wall St. Journal. You kept yelling, "Who's going to speak up for Julian Assange tonight?" and a few students answered in the affirmative.
