Today is the 5th of December we held a vigil for Julian Assange outside the Department of Foreign Affairs in theBrisbane today
We honour Julian Assange as an Australian, as a man of principle. We are extremely
proud of his contribution and commitment to truth and justice.
Julian Assange is a man of courage who has stood up for the oppressed and dispossessed.
World wide, he has shone a bright light on the daily atrocities carried out by Military
forces, by Governments, and by Corporations .
Today Julian Assange faces court again to appeal the order to extradite him to Sweden. If his appeal fails he will face court in Sweden within a fortnight.
This is Assanges tenth court appearance since his arrest for questioning in relation to sex crimes in Sweden, over a year ago. Assange has maintained that the charges are politically motivated by Wikileaks release of secret US government documents and video, particularly that that show US military engaged in war crimes.
