Wednesday, September 9,\n2020<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the third day we are\nin front of the door even earlier than the day before. I am confident. Jamie\nhas lost his imaginary race. Deepa is holding the door for Rebecca Vincent who\nI will give the place to myself at noon. From 5:30 to 10:00 a.m. this gives us\ntime to discuss the political situation in Europe, the history of the French\nRevolution and the Vienna system encircling France throughout the revolutionary\n19th century. We question the persistence of the feudal system on the territory\nof Great Britain with this enclave of bankers and multinationals that functions\nas a mafia of private interests parasitizing the states and laughing at their\nsovereignty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around 9:30 a.m. a young\nblond girl dressed in black in the style of \u00ab\u00a0the 80’s the revival\u00a0\u00bb\ncomes knocking at the door. The security guard on the stairs is the old man\nfrom Monday. She is a victim who has to testify in one of the real Criminal\nCourt trials. The man sends her back to the street door where a few people are\nwaiting. This is a far cry from the Monday crowds. The court doesn’t seem to be\nrunning at full speed, there are hardly any families coming. The woman comes\nback and tells him that she is being sent from one place to another and that\nshe, as a victim, does not understand how the court can malfunction in this\nway. The second time she cries in front of us. Just coming here is trying, we\nunderstand it, this waiting outside is all the more unjust and\nincomprehensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 10:00 a.m. the officer\ncalls the Family: John, Sulivan, Eliot Shipton, Esther and Craig Murray enter\nin front of us. Then he points at me and my colleague. We don’t waste any time,\nthis time we have left our phones and cameras at home. The passage through the\nante-divulsive metal detection box is quick, the pressure on the employees is\nalso much less, so the security guard is less severe. I run down the stairs on\nthe 4th floor preceded by my colleague. When I arrive, the Family is already in\nroom 10. We enter the corridor and a black, masked, white-clad security guard\nasks us \u00ab\u00a0what room are you coming for the trial in? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t lie to him by\nanswering \u00ab\u00a0Court Room 10\u00a0\u00bb. So he opens the sesame door for us. <\/strong>We\nenter naturally and sit in the 3rd row just above the Shiptons, Esther and\nCraig Murray, sitting in the 2nd row of the public gallery. I look around and\nquickly sketch out a sketch of the place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The room looks like a\ntwin room to number 9 but in fact it is different. Much smaller, darker, all in\na muffled atmosphere, with subdued lights, dark red leather armchairs and dark\nwood furniture. The absence of windows makes the place confined and suffocating\neven more than in room 9, which still looks like a classroom or university.\nHere there is a heavy, ceremonious atmosphere, like in a church.<\/strong> The layout\nis reversed: The defendants’ box is on the left, the judge’s platform on the\nright. That’s good, I will be in a strategic position to see Julian Assange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I observe what happens\nfor a good 20 minutes. I end up believing that it is not a mistake, that we\nhave been allowed to enter the Holy of Holies and that it is a just and honest\ndecision. I am almost convinced that we will be able to spend the morning here.\nThose present are not paying attention to us except for Craig Murray who turns\nhis head towards me and smiles. I have to say that for the past year I have\nended up being part of the environment instead of being part of the Family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I realize that what I\nsee is what should have remained hidden from the public eye. At the Woolwich\nCourt in February, the public could see the whole room except what was under\nthe balcony of the public gallery but could hear NOTHING without a\nmicrophone because the gallery was separated from the room with a shielded\nglass. That’s how I could SEE Julian Assange revolting, standing up, shouting,\ninvectivating the present, talking to them, but I couldn’t HEAR anything<\/strong>.\nHere I am immersed in the real atmosphere because no glass separates me from\nthe protagonists of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And down here the\natmosphere is very different from that of a trial. The actors of the game are\ntalking to each other in a relaxed atmosphere. They all know each other, they\nall belong to the same gang, organization, what do I know, they laugh at each\nother, which contrasts with the heavy and serious atmosphere of the room. I can\nsee Fitzgerald and Summers very well alongside Lewis and Clair Dobbin. Gareth\nPeirce moves between the tables, places each one and seems to give each one a\nrole. The young Florence Iveson has spoken to friends at one end of the room\nand returns to her seat behind Lewis. Peirce’s assistants and Dobbin’s strong\nblonde collaborator sit in the last row just in front of the glass box and chat\namongst themselves. I am surprised to see that Baraitser is already in his\nplace overlooking the clerk’s office (also present and silent) while the room\nis in a recreational atmosphere – in a real trial it is the entrance of the\njudge that marks the beginning of the court hearing and the audience must stand\nup to greet him. No one stands up at Baraister’s passage because here the judge\nseems to be a part of the decor and not a trustee of the authority of the State\nand the Law. It is true that we are not in a state, but in a private\norganization, a merchant’s guild dating from the Middle Ages, and Baraitser is\nnot a judge here in the Criminal Court. One wonders who she is, while it is\nimpossible to find any information about her<\/strong>. Her family exists well and\ngood: Michael Baraitser, Lisa Baraitser, Paula Baraitser are owners of various\nbusinesses to be seen on Beta Companies https:\/\/beta.companieshouse.gov.uk\/search\/officers?q=Baraitser\nbut Vanessa seems to have no social existence other than the Assange case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the row perpendicular\nto Baraitser, to her right at the back of the room I can see Alastair Lyon, a\nbrown woman with a green jacket and a red man. They are waiting quietly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the most surprising\nthing is in front of me and this is the part I should never have seen if I\nhadn’t had the opportunity to be there in front of these flesh-and-blood\npeople, because the camera NEVER shows this part of the room<\/strong>. In front\nof me, perpendicular to the defendants’ box are 3 rows of armchairs in which\nJoseph Farell in red jacket, on the far right, and MC McGrath took place! Joseph\nFarell as a \u00ab\u00a0Wikileaks ambassador\u00a0\u00bb should not be here because he is a\npart of the trial! F<\/strong>urthermore, the speeches about \u00ab\u00a0you can’t talk or\nvisit Julian Assange\u00a0\u00bb are immediately invalidated by Farell’s presence\nhere in a recreational atmosphere before the resumption of lessons where Farell\nsees Assange every day for 3 weeks at 3 meters from him! MC McGrath who is an\nAmerican hacker and computer freak is obviously part of the \u00ab\u00a0family\u00a0\u00bb\nof the \u00ab\u00a0Wikileaks\u00a0\u00bb project, but one cannot imagine that a lambda\nperson like him could be present in the courtroom if this trial was a real\ntrial!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And especially behind\nthem I can see Stella Moris in a dark red dress chatting happily with her\nfriend Jenifer Robinson in a scarlet red dress as well.<\/strong>\n(Robinson wore a green dress on the first day, like in February at the Woolwich\nand two increasingly vermilion red dresses on the second and third day, not a\nlawyer’s outfit then). To Robinson’s left sits a young red-haired man looking\nlike Nathan Fuller, director of Courage Corp, an American company based in New\nYork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two friends are\nlaughing as they talk to each other, they seem happy to be together here and relaxed.<\/strong>\nStella Moris’ behavior amazes me: while she has just played the grieving wives\nin her tearful storytelling at Paris Match and in front of the grid at 10 Downing\nStreet, I see her here relaxed and satisfied with her performance. I see her\nnot showing the slightest emotion in the face of the fate that awaits Julian\nAssange of whom she claims to be the beloved wife. Nor will she show any\nemotion, any compassion when Julian Assange enters the room. I see her\nattending Julian Assange’s trial as a show, a ceremony, in which she is a part\nof.<\/strong> If she had been his \u00ab\u00a0family\u00a0\u00bb then she should have been with\nus instead of the family, in the public gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s more, I thought to\nmyself, she is there every day laughing at him for hours on end and she tells\nthe whole world her lie that she cannot see him and hasn’t seen him for\nmonths… Just as she had lied so much about the February 27th hearings when she\ndidn’t speak to him and never encouraged and supported his revolt against the\nsacrifice inflicted upon him.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time I really feel\nthat I am witnessing not a trial but a sacrifice. A kind of ritual killing\nof what has been beautiful and good – the project of total freedom of\nexpression but also the man Julian Assange endorsing this project in spite of\nhimself.<\/strong> For Wikileaks is presented as something good – but is something\nbad sacrificed? Not only a beautiful animal was sacrificed in antiquity, a good\nman like Jesus was sacrificed, a BEAUTIFUL idea like freedom of expression is\non its way to being sacrificed? Sacrificing someone ugly and bad would not make\nsense! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Certainly it was\nnecessary to first smear Julian Assange with a planetary campaign calling him a\nnarcissistic rapist, but Jesus too had first been mocked as an impostor and\nfalse prophet before he was killed. And I do not betray the thought of Julian\nAssange, because he himself mentioned Jesus as \u00ab\u00a0the first sacrificed\nwhistleblower\u00a0\u00bb in a very premonitory speech in July 2009 in Germany. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I understand then that I\nfind myself in the same situation as in those patriarchal families where the\nritual of the \u00ab\u00a0honor killing\u00a0\u00bb is decided in a meeting: the family\nmust sacrifice a member who has \u00ab\u00a0failed\u00a0\u00bb to keep the family secret,\nthe cohesion and the power of the structure<\/strong>. As a feminist activist and a\nwoman who had to fight for my emancipation, I understand only too well the\npower structure of such a sectarian family. One should never imagine that\nfamily members hate the sacrificed member: on the contrary, one loves him\/her\nand that’s why one kills him\/her. For his or her own good. Because he has no\nexistence of his own, he is just a member of the family. To save the family by\nkilling him is to save him, to save his soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stella Moris proclaims\nthat Julian Assange is going to commit suicide<\/strong>\nand that he has asked a Catholic priest for the absolution of the dying. First\nof all, extreme unction is really only administered to the dying by the\nCatholic Church and Julian Assange is alive and well, as I will see later.\nSecondly, to obtain a Catholic absolution one must still pass through the\nsacraments of confession, communion and … baptism, so one must still be a\nCatholic! And thirdly, the Catholic Church prohibits suicide, she cannot give\nabsolution to someone who decides to sin by taking his own life! For me, a\nPolish woman raised in Catholicism, this storytelling doesn’t go at all!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This woman who lies\npublicly is then this Wednesday, September 9 at 10 a.m. in front of me in room\n10 of the Old Bailey and she is preparing for an important part of a ceremony.\nRemembering her words about Julian Assange’s \u00ab\u00a0suicide\u00a0\u00bb I wonder if\nwhat she is announcing is not rather a murder. <\/strong>A ritual murder, a\nsacrifice: a man who made a mistake, who must be punished, an idea that must be\nkilled. I shudder when I look closely at the woman’s black dress studded with\nsmall red fibers: the executioner, like the priest, wears red, the color of\nlife and death, the color of passion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly there is silence\nand all eyes turn to the door at the back of the box of the accused: I see Julian\nAssange enter through this door<\/strong> at the back in front of me and cross the\nbox, surrounded by two men in white, to a chair in the center. I can see him\nvery well, I have never seen him so close, he is 5 meters away from me and\nbehind only one glass. I am standing high up, I can see his head, his face and\nhis upper body very well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He is wearing a white\nshirt and a dark blue jacket as well as a black and red tie, the same fabric as\nMoris’ dark dress. I can clearly see the top of his head, his white hair is\ncut, but it is not quite coiffed. He is wearing this paper mask that is also\nritually imposed on us in France. But if the mask hides his mouth, I can see\nhis eyes. He is less thin than in February, less arched than on October 21. His\ngait is assured, he is not wobbly or dodelling as I could see on the\nWestminster videos. On the contrary, his entrance does not lack panache:\nparadoxically, he seems to be the master of ceremonies, he is the only one we\nare waiting for. As on February 27th he sets the tone by his behavior. As if\nwithout his agreement, without his adhesion, the sacrifice ceremony was not\nvalid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assange arrives at the\ncenter of the box then swivels and takes off his mask. I see his face, his\nblue-grey eyes, his expression deeply sad but not downcast. His eyes have dark\ncircles, not as deep as a year ago, but he has dark circles under them. His\nface is hairless, his features a little puffy and his complexion is as pale as\nthe morning of February 26th and 27th. The expression on his tense lips\nreminds us of a child who would have been beaten and would hold back his tears.\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then the gallery door\nopens and the security guard calls us to get out. I don’t react, I let my\ncolleague parley to save time. I watch Julian Assange take off his mask. He\nlooks at me and our eyes meet. It’s over, they won’t let me stay. But then I\nget up and I can be seen from afar in my purple suit. I raise my right fist, my\nPolish rosary around my hand. Assange saw me. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I go out reluctantly. In\nthe corridor the security guard is preaching to us at length. We committed a\nsacrilege, we lied to him, we had to go to room 9… Right away I apologize, I\ntell him that I regret that he could lose his job because of us, that we\nthought we had the right to come to room 10 because his colleague had announced\nit to us the day before. He reproaches me for having made a sign to the\naccused. Not at all, I recuse myself, I just adjusted the rosary that fell from\nmy hand. He seems overwhelmed and says that he is going to discuss our fate\nwith his boss, walkie-talkie in hand. We can’t hear what the chief is saying to\nhim, but I take the opportunity to change my tone. I tell him that I represent\na human rights association, that our fates in Europe are suspended at this\ntrial. That it is illegal not to be able to see the face of the accused, a man\nlocked up in dungeons like in the Middle Ages that no one can see, that we have\nwritten 10 requests for release and 3 medical reports, that Assange is being\ntortured and that we must testify about his state of health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don’t know if the\nprivate security company is sensitive to the issue of human rights, but its\nemployee finally allows us to go to room 9. For 2 hours I have all the time I\nneed to think about what I saw while observing the unfolding of the\npseudo-judicial storytelling. Not once does the camera show Assange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In room 9 there are even\nfewer people than yesterday. Heike H\u00e4nsel, a young man on his left, the man\nfrom the German embassy, the two German journalists, the brown woman in green,\nHamish Hamilton, Rosie Sylvester – 8 people. Professor Rogers is interrogated\nas a witness on video. He recounts the Wikileaks saga according to him:\nWikileaks publications would have proved that the United States did not control\nAfghanistan, while in Iraq Wikileaks would have added 15,000 civilian deaths to\nthe estimate of the British NGO \u00ab\u00a0Irak Body Count\u00a0\u00bb – (I know the work\nof this NGO for having co-organized in 2005 the Conference of the Association\nof International Humanitarian Law in the French Parliament where the lawyer\nWilliam Bourdon presented the estimate of 100,000 civilian deaths in Iraq. That\nis to say if Europeans did not wait for Wikileaks to criticize the invasion of\nIraq by the United States). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The question asked\nafterwards is \u00ab\u00a0Does Julian Assange have a political opinion, he who was\nalmost nominated for the Nobel Prize, was the herald of freedom of speech, and\nled speeches in Trafalgar Square in 2011 during the Occupy London movement?\n(How ancient these times seem in the light of the dictatorship we are living\nunder…). Yes, the professor replies – Wikileaks is known in Afghanistan and\nIraq for its political stance and Assange has been instrumental in the success\nof Wikileaks in bringing public attention to these wars. Wikileaks has been\nnecessary for human rights, transparency, accountability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, only what is\ngood and beautiful is sacrificed. Given the current state of Human Rights in\nthis trial, it does not seem that Wikileaks has been very effective<\/strong>. In\nany case, I would have preferred that Wikileaks had never existed, that all the\naccused had the right to transparent trials and the support of human rights\nassociations, that freedom of movement in Europe was guaranteed, that private\nmilitias did not arrest us in the streets or in the fields to accuse us of\nterrorism and did not force medical experiments on us… This is the real state\nof human rights, not in Iraq but in the heart of Europe, 10 years after\nWikileaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summers and Professor\nRogers discussed at length Trump’s role in the liquidation of free speech,\nignoring the fact that it was Obama, whose power was simultaneous with the\nemergence of the Wikileaks project, who initiated the lawsuit against Assange.\nThe goal is to prove that Assange has political views, so the prosecution is\npolitically motivated and therefore extradition should not be possible. I\nbelieve that since the City of London Corporation is not a state and is\ntherefore not bound by the extradition treaty signed by Great Britain, any\ntransfer of Assange from this territory to the United States can only be called\na kidnapping or rendition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The prosecutor asks the\nprofessor to explain what politics and journalism are and whether a journalist\nshould have political opinions. On the continent of Aristotle, Erasmus, Locke,\nRousseau the answer to the question \u00ab\u00a0what is politics\u00a0\u00bb is necessarily\nlong and argued. But the public prosecutor demands that the professor answer\nyes or no and the debate turns short. I am tired of this debate between\nAmericans who are flat as a desert without relief and whose history and\nexperience of Europeans is excluded, while this strange meeting is indeed\ntaking place on our continent and concerns us to the utmost. The prosecutor asks\nthe question \u00ab\u00a0Can we say everything? Be transparent even against the\nsecurity of individuals\u00a0\u00bb? But this debate seems to me to be a discussion\nabout the sex of angels, the answer being \u00ab\u00a0it depends on the\ncontext\u00a0\u00bb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Precisely, I must pay\nattention to one of the contexts mentioned. The prosecutor accuses Julian\nAssange of having said on August 8, 2011 that \u00ab the German invasion of\nPoland on September 1, 1939 is a lie constructed by Catholics \u00bb. I have\nnever heard Asssange saying such stupidity, and if he have said privatly, the\nprosecutor have to prove it, the accused man being forbidden to speak and\nunable to defend himself. The prosecutor therefore accuses Assange of\nhistorical negationism, a serious accusation in Europe when it comes to facts\nrelated to the last world war that destroyed our continent. In the speech I am\nhearing here, this prosecutor wants to make the witness say that \u00ab\u00a0one\ncannot say everything\u00a0\u00bb and that a limit must be placed on the freedom of\nexpression. This is indeed an important issue decided by the courts after\ncontradictory debates and according to a different legislation for each\nEuropean country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my part, as a Pole, I\nwould be shocked if I heard someone say something as absurd as \u00ab\u00a0the\ninvasion of Poland by the Hitlerians did not take place on September 1, 1939,\nit is a lie of the Catholics\u00a0\u00bb (and I am convinced that Julian Assange\nnever told this sentence) but rather than seeking to forbid it, I would invite\nmy interlocutor to come and visit Warsaw, a city destroyed by the Nazis, and\nthe Auschwitz Memorial to see the evidence of the crimes of the Nazis committed\nin my country. If he is not convinced, the Russians, Belarusians and Yugoslavs\nwill take it upon themselves to show him other numerous martyrdom sites of the\npopulations of Eastern Europe that the Hitlerians had first placed on their\nlist of peoples to be exterminated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I cannot hear how\nProfessor Rogers is getting out of the trap set by the prosecutor. The latest\ncharge is \u00ab\u00a0criminal justice or political persecution,\u00a0\u00bb does the\nprofessor think that the charges against Assange are politically motivated? Or\nare the charges related to crimes? The professor answers, \u00ab\u00a0I am not a\nlawyer but a political scientist. Then to the question, \u00ab\u00a0Do you think\nthere is evidence that Manning and Assange committed crimes,\u00a0\u00bb he answers,\n\u00ab\u00a0I read it in the accusation \u00bb. The mixture of \u00ab\u00a0politics\u00a0\u00bb\nand \u00ab\u00a0crimes\u00a0\u00bb is a very dangerous confusion for us. If making politics\nbecomes a crime, then we will all be criminals tomorrow and there will be\nnothing left of our democracy that is already in near liquidation! The word\npolitics comes from Polis, \u00ab\u00a0city\u00a0\u00bb. Whoever is in politics cares about\nthe good management of a city. It is everything but a crime. It is a right and\na duty!<\/strong> Besides, the level of philosophical debate seems to me very low in\nthis room and the word given to the professor is very limited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The antique\nair-conditioning spits its cold and stale air on me. I have seen enough. I\ndream of coming back to room 10 but only that seems too risky to me. I decide\nto leave, leaving it to my colleague to finish the work. When I go out into the\ncorridor I tell the security guard that I leave my place to the other\nassociations. The man then tells me \u00ab\u00a0you won’t be coming back\ntomorrow\u00a0\u00bb. I answer him that I understand the constraints of his job, that\nI do similar work in France, but that the respect of human rights concerns us\nall or we will all perish. And I add \u00ab\u00a0we’ll see tomorrow\u00a0\u00bb. Arriving\nat the bottom of the stairs, the old security guard does not want to let me\nout. He reproaches me for my passage in room 10 and puts on his gloves and\ntells me to stop. I feel vaguely threatened. I apologize but I add that it was\nnecessary to see the accused who is entitled to a fair trial, a secret closed\ntrial is illegal. I tell him about the war that the Americans are preparing in\nEurope using my country, Poland, against Belarus, secret prisons where people\nare tortured, that if Assange is extradited, we activists who are against the\nwar policy of the United States are next on the list?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The man finally allows me\nto go out. I save myself while wishing him good luck in his work as a\nproletarian that I know only too well. When I get out, I tell Rebecca Vincent\nthat I will not come back in the afternoon and that she can take my place. She\nis happy and that seems fair to me too. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Polish colleague goes\nout for the lunch break and tells me that she was able to see Assange again\nthrough the slatted door of room 10. Jenifer Robinson in her scarlet red dress\nwas explaining something to him with forceful gestures. Julian Assange smiled\nat her but did not seem convinced. Had he decided to revolt again? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next day we were\nearly in the Warwick Passage but Jamie and Sandra slept on cardboard boxes in\nfront of the door and preceded us, very satisfied. But they made these efforts\nfor nothing because at 10 am the trial is adjourned for 11:30 am. At noon the\nsessions of Thursday, September 10 and Friday, September 11 are cancelled. The\ncovid is obviously found guilty but I wonder if Julian Assange, encouraged by\nour presence, has not yet sounded the revolt. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time for revolt is\nmore than necessary. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extract from the\nrequest for release sent by Wikijustice Julian Assange to British and American\nparliamentarians <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Julian Assange is being\njudged in a court that does not depend on the Ministry of Justice of Great\nBritain, but in a private place belonging to an enclave that is legally\nindependent of Great Britain as a state and has no diplomatic link with the\nUnited States because the City of London Corporation, as a corporation, guild,\nassociation of businessmen is not a subject of international law and therefore\ncannot sign treaties with states. The extradition treaty of 2003 between Great\nBritain and the United States does not apply to this territory and cannot serve\nas a legal basis for the meeting that will take place from September 7, 2020\nbetween Julian Assange and those who hold him captive and want to decide his\nfate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consequently, since the\nextradition request from the United States does not apply to this territory and\ncannot be processed in the private building that is the Old Bailey, Julian\nAssange must be considered on the territory of the City of London as a hostage\nand immediately returned to his dignity as a free man. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the bankers and businessmen who own this building and manage this territory have no right to judge a man Julian Assange because they are not judges in the legal system of Great Britain. Moreover, their private interests are linked to large American, Chinese and British companies. Justice under their responsibility can only be tainted by bias. In no case can they be the guarantors of a fair trial. No private institution has the right to judge a man.<\/strong> It is the prerogative of sovereign states which must respect the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Private institutions must be subject to the Law of States and respect the internal laws of each country. The City of London Corporation is an anomaly in the system of international law and has no right to usurp the prerogatives of sovereign states. Therefore, we consider that Julian Assange is not a prisoner in Great Britain awaiting extradition by the United States, but a hostage of a private organization, the City of London Corporation. An organization that holds a prisoner is a criminal organization and must be prosecuted.<\/strong> We call on the sovereign states to prosecute the City of London Corporation, of which Julian Assange is a hostage, so that Julian Assange may be released from this illegal confinement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Monika Karbowska Wednesday, September 9, 2020 On the third day we are in front of the door even earlier than the day before. I am confident. Jamie has lost his imaginary race. Deepa is holding the door for Rebecca Vincent who I will give the place to myself at noon.
