Stella Assange, Julian Assange’s wife, has released a video statement on her husband’s release. The video was recorded on 19 June but released on 24 June after the news of Julian’s release from British prison. ‘It’s exactly 12 years today since Julian went into the embassy of Ecuador, which granted him political asylum,’ Stella says. ‘But this period of ours lives, I’m confident now, has come to an end, and I think by this time next week Julian will be free.’

“Julian Assange will make his final appeal this week to the British courts to avoid extradition. If he is extradited, it is the death of investigations into the inner workings of power by the press.”

Anthony Albanese was mouthing his favourite platitude, “enough is enough” long before he was elected prime minister of Australia last year. He gave many of us precious hope, including Julian’s family. As prime minister he added weasel words about “not sympathizing” with what Julian had done. Apparently we had to understand his need to cover his appropriated ass in case Washington called him to order.

“So when you hear politicians or government officials in the UK or in the U.S or in this country talk about due process or the rule of law this is what they’re talking about. Punishment by process, burying him under legal process until he dies. In fact, if you look at the case and you read our grounds of appeal there’s been very little by way of due process or rule of law in what has been inflicted upon Julian as we argue in our appeal. This case has been rife with abuse.” — Jennifer Robinson

The unprecedented nuclear threat that humanity faces is a direct consequence of our society’s lack of access to the truths which outlets like Wikileaks have revealed about U.S. imperialism. These are the truths that Julian Assange, the political prisoner who’s now in danger of being extradited to the U.S. because of his facilitating these revelations, has used to come towards a deep analysis on the forces which shape our world.
