"There is no question in my mind that this is a time of revenge [against #Assange]. It is not a question of getting any justice - it is raw power being used in a deadly manner. It is like a drone attack ..."

2) @SMaurizi

"[The states concerned] made #Assange& #39;s life horrible - he& #39;s taking the heat for all these publications - and we [non- #WikiLeaks journalists], who published the very same documents, haven& #39;t had any problems."

3) Catherine Brown @NeoLawrencian on

"The weaponisation of positive ideals towards negative ends"

A powerful analysis of why so many otherwise good people DO NOT stand up for #Assange. It deserves to be listened to in full.

There& #39;s a cricketing history in #JulianAssange& #39;s family & ...

"There& #39;s been a bit of a rebellion in cricketing circles in #Ecuador on his behalf. The Quito Cricket Club has offered him honorary membership."

"We need #JulianAssange more than ever, because our representative democracy ... isn& #39;t working. [Trillions for armaments & not enough for PPEs.]
"Clearly the [political] system isn& #39;t fit for purpose. "

"Much of this is about security theatre, & the demonstrable power of the state." "The torture of #JulianAssange, his mistreatment in Belmarsh... to a large extent they are doing it ... to show they can."

"Craig& #39;s description of the court case quite honestly reminds me of the farcical legal processes that we used to endure under apartheid... & it really concerns me that this is happening in the UK today."

Q: How is Julian?

#JulianAssange spoke with @khrafnsson just before this event. Listen for yourself to what this unwell, abused man in solitary confinement was concerned about: ">https://youtu.be/xr4OkKXKU...

Q: How can people influence the legal process?
