Free Julian Assange

We demand that Julian Assange be freed and not prosecuted. Imprisoning Mr. Assange would set a precedent that people and journalists that speak the truth about power should fear censorship and punishment. Censoring Mr. Assange is equatable to dictatorship, not democracy as the United Nations was set up to protect. "Democracy is a universally recognized ideal and is one of the core values of the United Nations. Democracy provides an environment for the protection and effective realization of human rights." If the United States and the European Union truly represent democracy then they should not prosecute a person for speaking the truth about the abuse of power. This petition seeks to protect Julian Assange for his freedom of speech and demands that he be freed without fear of prosecution.

This petition closed on September 1, 2012.

    Please do watch the video on top of this page, and scroll to bottom for the 5 posts that sent this man to a mentalhospital by the FBI. The hunting down people who believe in free speech is never ending and obviously the methods used are insane but unfortuantly in full use everywhere. Who knows who disappears the next time? And lets all start praying we have people who will contact and find the right people to get us out should the day come to you and me....

Can easily be fairly translated on google or bing translate. She posts a request for a crayfish party for her and "Julian" since he wants to attend one the day after the alleged rape.

The next night at 2 am, she posts " too sit outside with the smartest most intelligent people in the world and not even be cold, its amazing" To all who call Assange names and cry rape etc, please explain how the conspiracynuts as you call all who question the fairness in how Mr Assange is treated....What do we call this to justify the witchhunt on this man? Or maybe we just enforce a new term, "out in the public freely twittering when we can be at the policestation already if we were raped stockholm syndrome" ?????? http://klartexten.wordpress.com/2012/08/17/bevis-pa-att-kvinnorna-ljuger-om-assange/

    Here is the very reason Assange need to keep the position he has been forced to take. It shows he has very high knowledge about Swedens laws and considering the threats on his life Assange shows a very healthy survival instinct when he demands guarantees from the swedish state to not be handed over to USA. The Swedish Government has the last word in matters of extradition: https://lagen.nu/1957:668, but it is in itself bound by the Supplementary Convention on Extradition between USA and Sweden, 1961 (SÖ 1984:34)

    My deepest apologies for having sent too much updates to the action takers in such a short time. This is a very important cause and I thought that everyone would have gladly be updated about the developments of the case. I only have ten days left before the deadline expires to achieve that huge amount of signatures. This is a very delicate case and a human being, mr. Assange, is risking life for freedom. It's really question of hours and I have to hope to be still in time to send the signatures to the President of the Human Rights Tribunal to get this heard.
    Once more, I apologise for having been driven by my feelings and not having thought I was harming some of you and your sensibility. From now on I will only update without sending anymore mails to anyone. Just remember, if you were in Julian Assange's place, maybe you would have done what I am doing to save your ass. I hope no one of you will ever get through such a hell.
    To all the people who signed till now, my greatest thanks!

    Thanks to all thos who signed till now and to the ones who intend to sign now and in the upcoming days.

quando alguem como Assange denuncia todo o tipo de atropelos a humanidade e ao direito de expressão para denunciar esses mesmos crimes, o travetismo democratico dos americanos e dos ingleses, tudo farão para calar tais denuncias. Estamos aqui para dizer não...

Gracias a su información podemos saber de nosotros mismos.

ASSANGE ONLY USED THE UNIVERSAL RIGHT OF INFORMING PEOPLE, HE IS NOT INNOCENT.BRITAIN MUST STOP BULLYING ECUADOR.ASSANGE HAS UNIVERSAL SUPPORT BEHIND HIM......

La Convenzione di Vienna sulle Relazioni Consolari del 1963 all’articolo 27 obbliga lo Stato che ospita l’ambasciata estera a «rispettare e proteggere gli appartementi consolari, insieme con la proprietà del posto consolare e degli archivi consolari» anche «in caso di guerra» fra le due nazioni.

Pela liberdade de Asssange, que teve coragem de denunciar todos os crimes praticados pelo governo norteamericano. Pela democratização the informação!
