Nobel Peace Prize Winner joins Assange Solidarity Vigil at Ecuadoran embassy London

category international | anti-war / imperialism | news report author Sunday December 16, 2012 20:00author by Ciaron Report this post to the editors

For the past 6 months we have maintained a daily vigil outside the Ecuadoran embassy in solidarity with Julian Assange, WikiLeaks and the people of Ecuador
VID http://tinyurl.com/8jwoa9v
Ecuador has granted political asylum to Julian Assange. The embassy is located next to Harrod's
in Knighstbridge. London. It is surrounded by British police.

We believe Julian Assange is being persecuted for his role in exposing the deadly machinations of the imperial war machine in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. We believe he is being pursued by the U.S. government in collaboration with Swedish, British and Australian governments. This short animated clip should bring you up to speed on where the Swedish police stitch up is at ....

A sealed U.S. grand jury indictment has also been issued in relation to espionage charges targeting the work of WikiLeaks. Meanwhile, the Guardian newspaper, that serves as the Pravda of the British liberal left maintans a constant campaign of character assassination of Julian Assange for whatever motive? The mainstream British anti-war groups run by the authoritarian left and left of the Labor Party have abandoned both Assange and Manning (who was raised in Britain) long ago.

To vigil is "to stay awake" while society slumbers. The mainstream media keeps us heavilly sedated at the centre of empire as the war machine continues to kill on the perimeter of empire. Most British people presently remain disengaged with the war in Afghanistan and the other wars in which Britian is presently involved. We are not asked for proactive support for the government waging war, we asked merely to avert our gaze. The work of WikiLeaks has been a major obstacle for the war fighting state marketing normalcy at home. Those who marched against this war (1.5 million in Britain) seemed to have fallen asleep to the predicament of Bradley and Julian who now face the possibility of life in prison for exposing a war they opposed.

Last Thursday we were joined at the Ecuadora embassy vigil by Nobel Peace Prize winner Mairead Maguire PHOTO http://tinyurl.com/cub87la
Along with other Nobel Peace Laureates: Archbishop Desmond Tutu, and Adolof Perez Esquivel, Mairead has also spoken out in solidarity with Bradley Manning who remains in the military custody in the U.S. http://tinyurl.com/bwc8r54 After joining us on the daily vigil line (2pm-5pm) PHOTO http://tinyurl.com/c98eceu Mairead entered the embassy to meet with Julian.

Mairead had arrived in London that morning from Kabul. Afghanistan where she had been staying and working with the Afghan Peace Volunteers http://www.youthpeacevolunteers.org/
