DESCRIPTION:12/29 Berkeley Press Conference/Rally: Hands Off Julian Assange! Free Him 
 NOW! KPFA LSB Defend Julian Assange And Call For His Freedom 
 NOW!\n\n\nSaturday, December 29, 2018, 10:15 AM\nBerkeley Press 
 Conference/Rally\nBerkeley Library\n1901 Russell St. Berkeley\n\nThe Trump 
 government has now indicted whistleblower, journalist and publisher Julian 
 Assange and they want to arrest him and bring him to the United States for 
 releasing large amounts of information from Wikileaks which he founded. He 
 has been forced to stay in the Ecuadorian consulate for over six years by 
 the British government who tried to arrest him for  false allegations of 
 rape in Sweden. This investigation of alleged rape was  in fact was a 
 charade to allow the British to arrest him. The UK-US inspired 
 investigation has been dropped with no charges, yet the May British 
 government is still intent on arresting him.\nThe exposures of Wikileaks 
 showed the war crimes of the US in Iraq and around the world. It has 
 exposed politicians including Hillary Clinton who was involved with Obama 
 in overthrowing the government of Honduras and installing a military coup 
 which has led to the forced migration. It also showed that as Secretary of 
 State she had coerced Bulgaria and other Eastern European to allow Chevron 
 to do fracking on their countries.\nThe threat arrest and jail Julian  
 Assange threatens all journalists, whistleblowers, and publishers who 
 publish government documents. It could be used by the Trump administration 
 to jail journalists, editors and publishers of the NYT, Washingon Post and 
 certainly journalists at KPFA and the Pacifica network.\n\nFor this reason, 
 the Pacifica National Board voted 12 to 0 to join Oliver Stone, Daniel 
 Ellsberg, Ken Loach, and Chris Hedges to support the resolution calling for 
 the defense and freedom of Julian Assange yet the KPFA LSB majority in 
 Berkeley refused to call for his defense and freedom. \nEven the UN experts 
 have urged  UK to honour rights obligations and let Mr. Julian Assange 
 leave Ecuador embassy in London freely\nWe call on all supporters of Julian 
 Assange and all supporters of journalists, publishers and whistleblowers to 
 join us on Saturday, December 29, 2018, to call for the KPFA LSB to reverse 
 their decision and support the defense of and freedom for Julian 
 Assange.\nKPFA and Pacifica have reason to stand strongly for Assange. The 
 growing government repression threatens free speech and all media outlets 
 that expose government crimes and government corruption.\nLet's join the 
 Pacifica National Board in the defense of Julian 
 Assange.\nhttps://pacifica.org/documents/Press%20Release-Pacifica%20supports%20Julian%20Assange%202018-10-07%20(1).htm\n\nSponsored
