| Description |
Veteran demonstrator, Eric, was one of the participants in a protest picnic to celebrate Julian Assange's 50th birthday in Parliament Square, London. Assange - the political prisoner the Western corporate media does its best to forget - is still being held in Britain's high security Belmarsh prison. Eric seemed to have about the same incredibly detailed knowledge of United States and world politics and history as Chomsky himself. He spoke eloquently and with passion about how those who oppose concentrated power - like Corbyn and Assange - were being sidelined or silenced. For much of Assange's time in prison, he has been kept in solitary and denied the right to books - something which even mass murderers are normally allowed - and also refused visits and discussions about his case with his lawyers. He faces an extradition hearing to the United States. The case against him has all but collapsed, but there is very little coverage of it in the Western media, which prefers to focus on dissidents in Russia and China, rather than its own. In an interview broadcast on RT in 2020, Noam Chomsky pointed out that Assange had to be silenced because he had 'committed the crime of letting the population know what they have the right to know." |
