Usually the news leaks expose high-level corruption and violations of human rights and civil liberties. + +Julian Assange[2], the founder of Wikileaks, is being politically persecuted for publishing documents that exposed U.S. war crimes. Academics, journalists, activists, human rights groups, and politicans have all come out against this. + +There is no legal basis for detaining or extraditing Assange. The CIA spied on his lawyers and plotted to kill him. A key FBI informant in his case admitted to lying in exchange for immunity. There is no way he can have a fair trial now. + +Assange deserves a medal. His actions should be celebrated. He must **never** be extradited to the United States where he'll probably be tortured for the rest of his life or killed. If he is extradited and prosecuted, it will be a huge disaster for press freedom and free expression in the west. It's a direct attack on the First Amendment. All news organizations will be subject to potential investigation. + +Please show your support for Assange. This is important.
