Supporters of Julian Assange gathered in London and Washington, D.C., to call on the U.S. to stop its attempts to extradite him for publishing classified material.
Hundreds of supporters ofgathered in London and Washington, D.C., on Saturday to demand the U.S. government end its efforts to extradite him over the publication of classified documents.
Assange's wife Stella said the British government should speak to U.S authorities to stop the extradition attempts. Human trafficking survivor Eliza Bleu urged the"global elites, the ruling class" and employees of the CIA and FBI to"be a hero, quit your job and become a whistleblower." Bleu said that, despite being a female trafficking survivor, she skipped out on the Women's March that also took place on Saturday because, without a free press, there would be nobody to cover women's issues or survivor's issues.
"We need watchdog journalists not lapdog journalists," two-time Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein said.
