Our Daily Reminder to Keep That Fire Burning and Awareness High! His Public Hearing Will Be on February 20-21. Details Inside At the Bottom
In 2022, a documentary film, Ithaka, was released to further raise awareness about what the US Government has been doing to Julian.
“Filmed over two years across the UK, Europe and the US, this documentary follows 76 year-old retired builder, John Shipton’s tireless campaign to save his son, Julian Assange.
The world’s most famous political prisoner, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, has become an emblem of an international arm wrestle over freedom of journalism, government corruption and unpunished war crimes.
Now with Julian facing a 175 year sentence if extradited to the US, his family members are confronting the prospect of losing Julian forever to the abyss of the US justice system.” - ABC TV
“Ithaka shines a light into the darkest corners of society, highlighting what the most powerful nations will do in order to hide their crimes. Stand up for global press freedom and your right to know as we fight for Julian Assange.” - from ithaka.movie
Brother Gabriel Shipton’s reaction to one of the film premieres:
There is an excellent FAQ Page, which I encourage everyone to visit, that talks about what’s been happening to Julian and lays out the facts of his persecution and torture: https://ithaka.movie/about-the-film/#faq
Julian Assange is a journalist, publisher and the founder of Wikileaks. Wikileaks is a site created for whistleblowers to safely leak information of wrongdoing. One of the most famous leaks was released in 2010 labelled Collateral Murder. It showed US soldiers shooting at and murdering Iraqi civilians – including journalists and children. Since 2010, when Wikileaks started publishing evidence of war crimes and torture committed by US forces, there has been a sustained and concerted effort by several States to extradite him to the United States for prosecution.
