Boston Free Assange Rally - STOP unconstitutional prosecution of Julian
Assange under Espionage Act!
Park St Station Boston
Event by Paula Iasella
Monday, Sept 12th, 11am-12:30pm, Boston Area Assange Defense and fellow
First Amendment supporters will rally at Park St. Station.
Every three weeks we gather to raise awareness and report factually on the
Julian Assange case.
Mainstream media remains eerily silent on the Assange case – doing the
bidding of a government attempting to bury Julian Assange in a dungeon in
the UK – whilst sending a message to all journalists worldwide, that a
dungeon awaits them if they dare report US war crimes.
Our Boston actions will continue as long as Biden’s administration
continues with Trump’s unconstitutional prosecution of journalist, Julian
Assange under the Espionage Act.
Speaking of the troublesome archaic Espionage Act, there is new bi-partisan
legislation in Congress which protects whistleblowers and journalists from
the hundred-year-old law meant to be used against spies, not journalists!

Good news! Assange’s American attorneys filed a lawsuit against CIA, Mike
Pompeo, UC Global, and UC Global CEO David Morales. The Plaintiffs are US
lawyers and journalists who were spied on by the CIA at the Ecuadorian
embassy in London. The evidence of CIA malfeasance which has been uncovered
in Spain’s High Court will come to light in this lawsuit being tried in the
Southern District of NY.

UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet met with Assange's wife and father at the
end of August. After the meeting, Bachelet stated that she is aware of the
health issues which Mr Assange has suffered during his time in detention,
and she is concerned for his physical and mental well-being. She also
stated that the potential extradition and prosecution of Julian Assange
raised concerns for media freedom and could have a “chilling effect” on
investigative journalism.

Roger Waters’ Pink Floyd ‘This Is Not A Drill’ tour continues in 31 major
cities!. A long-time supporter of Julian Assange, he creatively presents
WikiLeaks’ ‘Collateral Murder’ in a series of light projections which show
US soldiers gunning down innocent civilians in Iraq. Text across the video
footage reveals that only those who exposed these crimes have been punished
while no one was court martialed for the killing spree.

If more artists, performers and media outlets came forward to defend Julian
Assange - as Roger Waters has - Assange would be free now!
Journalism is not a crime and journalists like Julian Assange should not be
prosecuted
Journalists should be protected and cherished for their public service of
courageously defending our right to know what our government does in our
name!
Please join us on Monday, Sept 12th at Park St. Station, 11-12:30pm. We
must all stand up and fight to stop this US extradition of a truth teller!
Protect journalism, protect our First Amendment!
