DESCRIPTION:Please join us to protest Sweden’s attack on Julian Assange!  Fabricated 
 “re-opening” of a bogus, charge-less, expired, old case is being used 
 in illegal attempt to extradite Assange to Sweden. He is targeted for the 
 “crime” of publishing U.S. war crimes. His life & our Constitutional 
 Press & Speech freedoms are in immediate jeopardy.\n\nPlease bring signs 
 and any bull horns you have. \n\nAlso, contact the media that people will 
 be protesting this outrageous attack on Julian Assange.\n\nBay Area Action 
 Committee To Free Julian Assange BAACFJA\n\nBackground: Please see 
 Wikileaks dot org website\nThe attack and arrest by the British government 
 and police on Julian Assange with the direct support of the US controlled 
 Ecuadoran government and the US government is an attack on all journalists, 
 whistleblowers, and democracy. It is aimed at closing down all alternative 
 media. While there is no prosecution of the war criminals exposed by 
 WikiLeaks, Assange, Chelsea Manning, Ola Bini, and other journalists and 
 whistleblowers are under attack and imprisoned. \n\nRecent developments in 
 the Swedish attack: 
 \nhttp://www.informationclearinghouse.info/51675.htm\nand\nhttps://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/05/22/assa-m22.html\n"An 
 extraordinary bid by Swedish authorities to rush a hearing into the 
 possible extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to Sweden has been 
 delayed by a court until June 3. That is because Assange’s lawyers have 
 not even been able to consult the jailed journalist and publisher.\nThe 
 haste with which the Swedish prosecutor sought a formal order to detain 
 Assange on trumped-up sexual misconduct allegations, further highlights the 
 overturning of basic legal rights by all the governments—the American, 
 British, Australian and Swedish—that are conspiring to force Assange to 
 the US on bogus charges that could carry life imprisonment, or even the 
 death 
 penalty."\nand\nhttps://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2019/05/the-missing-step/\n"In 
 Sweden, prosecutors have applied to the Swedish courts to issue a warrant 
 for Julian’s arrest. There is a tremendous back story to that simple 
 statement.\n\nThe European Arrest Warrant must be issued from one country 
 to another by a judicial authority. The original Swedish request for 
 Assange’s extradition was not issued by any court, but simply by the 
 prosecutor. This was particularly strange, as the Chief Prosecutor of 
 Stockholm had initially closed the case after deciding there was no case to 
 answer, and then another, highly politically motivated, prosecutor had 
 reopened the case and issued a European Arrest Warrant, without going to 
 any judge for confirmation.\n\nAssange’s initial appeal up to the UK 
 Supreme Court was in large part based on the fact that the warrant did not 
 come from a judge but from a prosecutor, and that was not a judicial 
 authority. I have no doubt that, if any other person in the UK had been the 
 accused, the British courts would not have accepted the warrant from a 
 prosecutor. The incredible and open bias of the courts against Assange has 
 been evident since day 1." \n
