[OccupyComms] [OccupySheffieldPrivate] Article on Julian Assange Case & U.S Human Rights!

[Cristina Maza]

Wasn´t necessarily meant to be a call for those in Occupy to get involved, but since he is staying at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, I just thought some people from Occupy London might be interested. It is a question of freedom of information, which affects all of us.
If anyone is interested in going down to the embassy (in a non-official, as in not representing Occupy-capacity) email me!

Woah, wait, what? What does the prosecution and legal status of one individual have to do with the global mission of Occupy? Assange is not Wikileaks embodied. Let's not waste our time and energy on one person when we have far more urgent tasks. 

For example, this week there has been a renewed focus in the UK media on tax due to a number of celebrities having their tax affairs aired in public. Our time would be much better spent focussing and publicising on this issue which could have much wider implications. 

This strategy also has the advantage of not supporting a possible rapist, which is surely awkward to do whilst remaining compliant with the safer spaces policy all UK Occupy camps adopted at the Edinburgh conference in December. 

Sorry for the rant guys, but I feel that this is a diversion from the mission of Occupy, and could make us an unsafe space.

I´m sure many of you are aware that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is hiding in the embassy of Ecuador here in London! 
Please share this article & lets hope Ecuador grants his petition for asylum as soon as possible!
