Julian Assange is arguably the most significant journalist and publisher of our time. An Australian citizen charged under the US 1917 Espionage Act for "exposing accurate and damning truths about US war crimes", Julian is currently in his fifth year in the high security Belmarsh Prison in London. Supported by every major press freedom and human rights organization in the world and by notable figures such as Noam Chomsky, John Pilger, Glenn Greenwald, Oliver Stone, Alice Walker, Mairead Maguire and the late Daniel Ellesberg, this may be our last chance to stop the extradition of Julian Assange and to protect our right to a Free Press.
Please pre-register for the screening of ITHAKA by email to c.sheasby@hotmail.com and include ITHAKA in the subject line. |
