We will be continuing to get letters off to Merrick Garland and signatures
for our senators as well as speaking out about WikiLeaks founder Assange's
imprisonment in a high-security prison in London, awaiting the decision
about extradition to the US, where he faces 175 years for leaking secret
documents about US war crimes.  (The US is appealing the January UK denial
of extradition.)The case is all the more flimsy now that the key witness
for the computer intrusion charge has recanted.  Come help us raise
pressure on the Biden administration to drop this Trump-era prosecution.
