Supporters of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange rallied outside of the British Embassy in New York. His supporters demanded an end to his prosecution and to let him go back home to Australia.
During the rally that occurred this past weekend, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters spoke out against the repressive globalist elite who erode the freedom of speech and push for wars around the world. Waters stressed that Assange’s prosecution violates freedom of the press and human rights.
“Without basic human rights, for all brothers and sisters all over the world, irrespective of their color, religion or nationality, we might as well all be alone,” Waters said. “That’s why we are standing shoulder to shoulder outside the British Embassy in New York City alongside our brother Julian Assange.”
Assange’s supporters said that they firmly oppose his pending extradition to the United States. They believe that the Biden administration must end his shameful persecution. Currently there is a resurgence of pressure on Biden to drop Assange’s drawn-out trial.
The Trump administration filed the initial charges against him in April 2019. The Department of Justice of the Biden administration is still pursuing them.
Assange is currently in London. He has been serving a prison sentence there since 2019.
