| Description |
Assange supporters, a guitarist and onlookers at Piccadilly Circus. On Saturday 16 September 2023, Assange supporters gathered for their weekly protest first between about 11 am and 12.30 pm in Woolwich in South East London and then from about 12.30 pm to 2 pm at the nearby Belmarsh Prison, where Assange is being held, and later between 4 and 6 pm at London's iconic Piccadilly Circus, where they held up banners and distributed leaflets to, as well as talking with, passers by. They were demonstrating against the continued imprisonment of Julian Assange and the US extradition proceedings, for revealing the truth about US, UK and other Western war crimes, the mass surveillance of their populations and other crimes. Meanwhile, the war crimes themselves go largely ignored and the political leaders responsible for them are not only immunized against prosecution, but several are growing wealthy on the basis of their contacts with their overseas accomplices across the Middle East and elsewhere. Apart from the protests at Woolwich, Belmarsh and Piccadilly, there are also weekly protests in solidarity with Assange outside Australia House in London every Wednesday between 3 and 5 pm. And next Saturday (23 September 2023) there will be a mass participation cycle ride for Assange, assembling at approximately 1 pm outside Belmarsh Prison, setting off at 2 pm and finishing at the Royal Courts of Justice, where I understand there may be a further rally and one or more speeches. There are many good reasons why Assange should be released, but arguably the three most important are as follows - Freedom of Speech: Assange's case raises important concerns about freedom of the press and whistleblowers' rights, which are crucial for a transparent society. Health Concerns: Julian Assange's physical and mental health deteriorated in prison. Releasing him could provide access to better medical care and reduce the risk of serious health issues. Human Rights: His prolonged detention without trial or conviction goes against fundamental human rights principles. I also post photos at <a href="https://www.instagram.com/alisdarehickson/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.instagram.com/alisdarehickson/</a> [ I'm hoping to post a few more photos from one or more of last Saturday's Assange protests later this week.] |
