The persecution of Julian Assange amounts to a criminalisation of investigative journalism and should therefore be profoundly condemned by all members of the profession. Revealing war crimes, holding governments accountable is what journalists are supposed to do and for the media to publish. It's one of the pillars of democracy and a free society. The Assange case is highly politicised and meant to discourage and penalise journalists and publishers to report and bring to attention of the general public.the heinous war crimes perpetrated by the American military and her allies over the years. But we the public are not supposed to know. A ray of hope for Assange is that British law does not permit extractions on political grounds and that hopefully British law will prevail, so that Assange will not have to face a hanging judge before a Kangaroo Court in the United States of America.
