Free Julian Assange

The Peace People in Belfast call once again for the immediate release of Julian Assange. We also appeal to other journalists to support Julian in his fight to expose the horrible mechanics of war. Nobel Laureate Mairead Maguire expressed her sadness that Julian, who she has several times nominated for a Nobel Peace prize, should be subjected to this cruel extradition to the USA. The Peace People will hold a vigil on Thursday 23rd of June at 1pm at the wall there for Julian. All welcome!!
