Mexican President Tells US to Return Statue of Liberty to France or Drop Charges Against Julian Assange

Based commie wetback actually standing up for press freedoms.

You don’t see any commies in America defending Julian, do you? Not even right-wingers really bother to defend him, despite the fact that his reporting on Hillary Clinton arguably tipped the election for Trump (you can’t really tell what causes any election outcome, which is one of many problems with the black box that is universal suffrage democracy).

RT:

Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador says the symbol of America’s freedom could lose its meaning if Washington refuses to drop charges against Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange, who faces the prospect of 175 years in prison.

“If they take him to the United States and he is sentenced to the maximum penalty and to die in prison, we must start a campaign to tear down the Statue of Liberty,” Lopez Obrador said at a news conference on Monday. For Washington to convict Assange would confirm that the world-famous monument in New York Harbor “is no longer a symbol of freedom,” he continued.

…

The Mexican leader skewered what he framed as hypocrisy by the media organizations that eagerly published information on US war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq obtained and released by Wikileaks before turning against the organization’s founder.

“When this information was released, various media participated [in its publication]. They agreed to release all the information because they considered that it was a contribution to the defense of human rights, to freedom of expression, not to continue with the double talk, with the lies, with saying one thing and doing another,” he said.

Lopez Obrador had told reporters last month that he would broach the subject of dropping the charges against Assange during his next meeting with US President Joe Biden. He was invited to speak with the US president after he declined an invitation to Biden’s Summit of the Americas, refusing to attend in protest of the event’s exclusion of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canel, and Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega.

The Wikileaks publisher’s lawyers filed two new appeals last week to contest his extradition to the US. He faces 18 counts of conspiracy to obtain and release classified material and Espionage Act violations stemming from receiving top-secret military documents from military analyst Bradley (now Chelsea) Manning in 2010. That’s despite one of the key witnesses in the case against Assange admitting that he fabricated important parts of his testimony against the Wikileaks co-founder.

It’s disgusting that Trump won’t stand up for Julian.

What exactly does Trump have to lose by supporting him?

It’s like with Ashli Babbitt or any of our other martyrs – you have to beg Donald Trump to support his own people.

Further – the Mexican president doesn’t really have anything to gain, does he?

Here’s the deal: Julian Assange is a journalist. Bradley Manning was the one who broke a law, and he’s on the loose – he became a tranny after years of torture, so they let him loose!

But the prosecution of Assange as a spy is nonsensical, and it’s illegal in America and under international law.

They’re making an example – the example is: “if you believe in freedom, you should live in Russia or China.”
