TRUTH HAS NO BORDERS; NEITHER HAS OUR STRUGGLE

This is a new 8 minute video, with some great footage, published to mark the one year anniversary, which looks at the past year from the Ecuadorian perspective. It’s in Spanish, but has some clips in English, and it’s not hard to follow. Well worth watching. Thank you Ecuador!

Julian has spoken from the Embassy window on two other landmark occasions; firstly in August 2012, to mark his acceptance by Ecuador for asylum, and then at the 6 month point. Each time has been an occasion for us to come together in solidarity.

C’MON DOWN

So, come and celebrate WikiLeaks, hear what Julian has to say, thank Ecuador, and, if last Sunday is anything to go by, join the celebrations in song!

DON’T MISS!

If you are in two minds; as well as this report from Ciaron and David there’s also series of reports and more photos linked to here on the Wise Up ‘noticeboard’; there’s a 1 year short report that’s worth watching from RT: ‘Assange’s Year on Ice’,where they speak with Julian and show the gathering on Sunday; and here’s two short videos to also convey the atmosphere of that gathering.

ECUADOR SINGS!

ANTIPODES SINGS! 

TIMES ARE TOUGH: SOLIDARITY IS GOOD FOR US ALL

We remember courageous people facing reprisals for standing up for what is right and defending our freedom. People like Bradley on trial at the moment, and in prison for three years so far.

And Jeremy Hammond, held in solitary since March 2012.

Barrett Brown facing more than 100 years for sharing a link, and others.

And, since just this month, also Edward Snowden, of course, who has used WikiLeaks to approach Iceland about asylum.  See today’s report  from RT on this, where the interviewer also suggests that Julian may be indicating  further revelations via WikiLeaks from Edward Snowden.

All these people are connected to WikiLeaks in some way.

At this pivotal time, we all need to take our place.  Come and show where you stand, be encouraged by engaging with others, and be re-inspired!

We live in extraordinary times with extraordinary possibilities. C’mon over to the Ecuadorian Embassy on Saturday and regain some fighting spirit!
