Description:

Come meet John and Gabriel Shipton, the father and brother of award-winning journalist, Julian Assange. 

An Australian citizen is being held in solitary confinement in a British prison without charge at the behest of the United States who wants to extradite him for the crime of publishing the truth about their war crimes. Really, that’s all there is to it. 

Now, the father and brother of this award-winning Australian journalist Julian Assange are on a nationwide tour of the United States calling on the U.S. government to drop its prosecution and finally let Julian come home.

While on this tour, Assange’s family members will meet with activists, press, and policymakers to raise awareness of the importance of protecting whistleblowers and journalists, and to advocate for the release of Julian Assange, whom the United Nations has declared “arbitrarily detained” since 2010.

Join us as we discuss the truth surrounding the Assange case, and fight for justice and the freedom of Julian Assange.
