Letter of Acquittal

David Cameron | 30.03.2013 16:05 | Repression | Technology | Terror War | World

In my function as representative of the government of Britain, with the unbearable burden of the international tensions in mind, as a gesture of goodwill and wholehearted contrition, I am proud to announce that as of midnight this Sunday London time all restrictions of movement and travel against Julian Assange will be lifted. My government could not find any instance of forgery originating from Wikileaks, so I have decided to drop the persecution, which has become an embarrassment to this country, and unconditionally surrender all documentation of the case to the organisation. As a patriot I would like to stress that this nation has always worshipped the tradition of human rights, and with bold statements like this continues to do so. By accepting the objective of Wikileaks to operate freely and independently, we reaffirm our sacred commitment to the complete disarmament of all weapons of mass destruction and their carrier systems starting with our own.

This has been decreed to the public without the use of government mouthpieces as to circumvent the usual cabals.

David Cameron

Rape allegations. Female activists say he raped them. Do they not matter? Is he the only person in wkileaks who matters, whose work is acknowledged? Does his work at wikileaks mean he gets to rape with impunity?

send him to Sweden, but not to the US

It is highly unlikely that he will ever go to the US, but he really shoud go to Sweden.
As it says in today's papers:

"Ecuadorean diplomats have been in discussions with the Swedish and UK governments since Assange unexpectedly sought refuge at the embassy.

Discussions last year focused on what was likely to happen to him once legal proceedings in Sweden were completed, according to the Ecuadoreans.

A senior legal adviser to the embassy has said that the home secretary, Theresa May, would need to waive specialty – a legal concept that ensures an individual can only be extradited to one country – under section 58 of the Extradition Act 2003 before Assange could be extradited from Sweden to the US.

The Foreign Office has stated that the UK has a binding legal obligation to extradite him to Sweden to face questioning over the allegations.

Swedish prosecutors have dismissed claims that their case is part of a political move to see Assange stand trial in the US over his work with WikiLeaks."
