Renowned investigative journalist and Presbyterian minister and academic Chris Hedges speaks during the seventh Unity4J online vigil in solidarity with Julian Assange on 7 December 2018.
Julian Assange's situation is more precarious than ever. Join some of his most high profile supporters for updates, analysis and calls to action to support this generation's most significant publisher. Julian Assange has been arbitrarily detained in the UK for eight years, six of which he has spent as a political refugee in Ecuador’s embassy in London.
The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has ruled Mr Assange should be immediately freed and compensated. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has ruled that the UK must facilitate safe passage for him. #Unity4J is a global mass movement in solidarity with Julian Assange, created in response to Ecuador’s gagging of the publisher.
Unity4J has been endorsed by more than fifty high profile activists, journalists, celebrities, academics and former US intelligence officials including Chris Hedges, Jimmy Dore, Ray McGovern, Bill Binney and Daniel Ellsberg.
