Closed petition Abandon the bullying tactics used by the UK government in the pursuit of Julian Assange
Closed on
The undersigned would like their outrage over the idea that the UK would use unlawful force in their pursuit of Julian Assange to be noted. We now face escalating international tension as a result of this ridiculous man hunt.
The power our government has granted itself in it's attempts to bully someone many people would consider worthy of the word hero have already seen Assange put in prison, and under house arrest for over 650 days without even being charged with a crime in any country. Not to mention the fiscal damage done to Wiki Leaks through international pressure (bullying.) This sort of extrajudicial force is completely unacceptable and we ask that our government start following the correct course of justice.
We have continued to attempt to ruin this man's life, business and reputation and are yet to release a single statement about the documented torture Bradley Mannings has been subjected to over the last couple of years by our "allies."
