‘On Tuesday 18 October ‘Hacking Justice’ was screened at the RIO
Dalston, organised by the JADC. This was the eighth screening of
‘Hacking Justice’ in the UK an astonishingly powerful documentary about
the case of Julian Assange made by Clara Rubio. There was a Q & A after
the screening with Deepa Driver and John Rees joined by Clara Rubio from
Germany via Zoom.

Afterwards, the foyer was filled with people talking animatedly about
Julian Assange’s case, freedom of the press, democracy, and the ideas we
heard Julian so clearly express in the film.

One person said it was powerful to see and hear Julian speaking in his own right since we have not seen or heard him effectively for the last 3 and a half years. 6 copies of Nils Melzer’s book were sold and a number of people signed up to be kept informed about further events. There will be more screenings of ‘Hacking Justice’ – watch this space.’
