On Chelsea Manning’s Birthday 17th of December we returned to The Guardian to demand they take down the lies against WikiLeaks and Julian Assange propagated in their pages. Trade Unionist and academic Deepa Driver demanded The Guardian guards the truthtellers and not establishment interests and their propaganda campaigns. She also explains the many innovations in journalism pioneered by WikiLeaks. Watch her speech below:

Maxine Walker from JADC called out the lies the Guardian has published and talked about the role of establishment propaganda in the context of reactionary forces preventing social improvement for the majority of the people,. She talked about the reality based society efforts to understand reality based on facts vs the establishment’s efforts to shape our perceptions.  Enjoy the videos and photos below, in solidarity Free Julian Assange!

"We're today outside The Guardian offices, not only to celebrate Chelsea Manning's birthday, but to demand that the Guardian retract their lying article about [Paul] Manafort visiting Julian at the Ecuadorian embassy" and "tell the truth about Julian Assange" Joe Brack (@EfPress) pic.twitter.com/CbKAVGeicP

The Guardian has been "instrumental in the persecution of Julian Assange here in the UK", including by publishing a "false story" by Luke Harding about Trump's campaigner manager Paul Manafort visiting Mr Assange in the Ecuadorian embassy, says @greekemmy. pic.twitter.com/vN2g9X2cLW

Many Thanks to independent reporters Drew McFadyen, Joe Brack and Mohamed El Maazi for covering the event as well as Ruptly. The day after our protest THe Guardian produced the strongest editorial to date opposing Julian Assange’s US extradition.

This editorial statement by The Guardian on Julian Assange https://t.co/9pR0Jlr80K (which follows the latest protest outside their HQ https://t.co/u5nufLY4X4 ) is spot on.

If only they made this clear years ago rather than 3 weeks before the judge is due to give her decision.
