Tune in to a Live Emergency Online Vigil Held All Weekend
Featuring Top Whistleblowers and Journalists from Around the World
The Vigil is Co-Hosted by journalists and Steemians @suzi3d and @elizbethleavos as well as Joe Lauria of Consortium News and Activist Vivian Kubrick.
Julian is at immediate threat of expulsion from the Embassy. Supporters have launched a new hashtag #ProtectJulian which is trending in the USA, Ecuador and Australia. Join us for an emergency marathon online vigil featuring those closest to Julian and his highest-profile supporters.
Julian Assange has been arbitrarily detained in the UK for eight years, six of which he has spent as a political refugee in Ecuador’s embassy in London. The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has ruled Mr Assange should be immediately freed and compensated. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights has ruled that the UK must facilitate safe passage for him.
#Unity4J is a global mass movement in solidarity with Julian Assange, created in response to Ecuador’s gagging of the publisher. Unity4J has been endorsed by more than fifty high profile activists, journalists, celebrities, academics and former US intelligence officials including Chris Hedges, Jimmy Dore, Ray McGovern, Bill Binney and Daniel Ellsberg.

Hi, @unity4j! As a Latin American, I have to say that I am very concerned about the situation that Julián may face in the coming hours and at the same time very ashamed of the lamentable role that the government of Ecuador is playing. With the intention of joining the international campaign of support and in order to raise awareness of the Spanish-speaking community, I take the courage to translate your post to share it on my blog and other networks.
+Of course I'll follow you and reglogued it ;-)
The first 12 hours of the vigil has ended,
BUT the next 12hrs has just begun.
Tune in live now to support #unity4j.
