2152 11/01/2022Non ci sono ormai più parole per descrivere l'ingiustizia perpetrata da un paese, gli USA, che si ergono a paese democratico ma assumono comportamenti da stato canaglia!Ho seguito direttamente, fra le tante alla ribalta in questi giorni, la situazione di Julian Assange.A nulla sono valsi gli innumerevoli appelli, quando è evidente che vari altri stati e le loro giustizie sono asservite agli USA!Riporto, di seguito, una serie di ragioni per le quali le accuse dovrebbero essere tolte (fonte: assangedefense dot org, con le quali concordo): -He's committed no crime; he's done a public service.He's charged under the Espionage Act but he's not a spy.He provided information of public interest to the whole world, not to a foreign adversary.His prosecution is a threat to press freedom everywhere.He's won journalistic awards including the Martha Gellhorn Prize.His cause is supported by press freedom organizations around the world including Reporters Without Borders, PEN International, and the Committee to Protect Journalists.The Obama Administration recognized the threat to press freedom and declined further prosecution.Obama said prosecution would present the government with a “NY Times problem”.Instead of following Obama’s lead, the Biden administration has taken up the mantle of former President Trump.The wrong party is on trial; Julian exposed U.S. war crimes and torture; it’s obvious to many that the party guilty of those crimes is vindictively pursuing him.The case against Jhim has collapsed.A key Icelandic witness has recanted his testimony that Julian instructed him to hack into government computers.Prosecutorial conduct has been egregious.The CIA spied on Assange, including meetings with his doctors and lawyers.In 2017 the CIA plotted to kidnap or assassinate him.His prosecution diminishes the stature of the United States.While Secretary of State Antony Blinken proselytizes about U.S. support for independent journalism, it is simultaneously seeking to imprison the most high profile journalist of the 21st century for 175 years.Julian did not “put lives at risk”.A 2013 Pentagon study could not identify a single instance of anyone killed as a result of being named in the WikiLeaks trove.Julian wanted the documents published responsibly.He worked with traditional news outlets to redact the documents and save lives.It was only when two Guardian journalists, Luke Harding and David Leigh, recklessly published an encryption code that unredacted documents spilled into the public realm.An investigation by United Nations Special Rapporteur Nils Melzer found the entire period of Assange’s detention, including that spent in the Ecuadorian Embassy, to be arbitrary.He also called his treatment at the hands of the State parties responsible for his detention “a public mobbing”.Over the course of more than ten years of arbitrary detention, Julian has suffered greatly.His physical and mental health have deteriorated to the point that he has trouble concentrating and cannot properly participate in his own defense.He suffered a small stroke on October 27th during a remote court hearing.His continued imprisonment is a threat to his very life.Julian is not an American citizen, nor was he on American soil when the alleged crimes were committed.He should not be subject to American laws like the Espionage Act.Tutto ciò dovrebbe essere solo "una questione di coscienza" ovvero dovrebbe essere palese che Julian Assange è innocente; purtroppo sono anche consapevole che tale coscienza verrà difficilmente ascoltata, nascondendola dietro "il dito della legge" arbitrariamente interpretata!Vergogna!
