Chris Hedges ~ The Crucifixion of Julian Assange

https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-crucifixion-of-julian-assange

'The powerful and the rich make war on the #prophet. They slander and insult the prophet. They question the prophet’s sanity and motives. They make it hard for the prophet to survive removing the prophet’s meager source of income. They punish and marginalize those who stand with the prophet. They silence the prophet’s voice, through #censorship, #imprisonment and often #murder. The list of martyred prophets is long: Socrates, Joan of Arc, Isaac Babel, Federico García Lorca, Miklós Radnóti, Irène Némirovsky, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr, Victor Jara, Ken Saro-Wiwa.

A Murderous System is Being Created Before Our Very Eyes ...

https://www.republik.ch/2020/01/31/nils-melzer-about-wikileaks-founder-julian-assange

One of the more #comprehensive #reports from #UN #Special-Rapporteur-on-Torture #NilsMelzer (aside from his book) into the case of #Assange with details of the #false #Swedish #allegations that fueled his #public #mobbing and #persecution. The #case is a huge #scandal and represents the failure of #Western #rule-of-law. If #JulianAssange is #convicted, it will be a #death-sentence for #freedom-of-the-press.

While Americans ate a thanksgiving feast...

#Israel was imprisoning its own youth who stood up for #peace and human rights

Read their brave statement here

More detail on what happened:

...in Israel, four conscientious objectors, Shahar Schwartz (18-year-old), Einat Gerlitz (19), Evyatar Moshe Rubin (19), and Nave Shabtay Levin (18), were imprisoned again for their refusal to serve in the #military. The four objectors jointly declared their refusal to join the #Israeli #army in September, stating their refusal to take part in the Israeli #occupation of the #WestBank and #Gaza Strip. With their last #imprisonment, each of them will stay 45 days more in prison.

War Resisters International can keep you informed about conscientious objectors:

CO Action alerts

The CO-Alert email list is specifically for alerts in cases of conscientious objection or #antimilitarist action. CO-Alerts are sent out by email as soon as the WRI office receives information on the #imprisonment or trial of a conscientious objector, are a powerful tool to mobilise #support and #protest. We provide an email contact form, so you can quickly and simply contact the authorities, in support of a #nonviolent #activist who is facing #repression.

In many countries, #prison is still the fate of conscientious objectors (COs). Thousands of COs are still in prison -- in South Korea, Israel, Finland, Colombia, and many other countries. Despite many countries having introduced laws on conscientious objection, many COs still face imprisonment, because they either don't fit into the authorities' criteria, or they refuse to perform any substitute service. War Resisters' International supports conscientious objectors who are imprisoned because of their conscientious objection, or face repression by the state or state-like entities.
