Stop the US extradition of Wikileaks publisher Julian Assange!

This meeting of the Northern Territory Greens held on Sunday, 19th January
2020 condemns the continuing persecution of Wikileaks’ publisher Julian
Assange by the US, British and Australian governments. This collusion
against Assange is a fundamental attack on all democratic rights, and an
attempt to intimidate and silence all those who seek to expose the truth.

We demand that the Australian government immediately utilises all available
diplomatic and legal means to impel the British government to cease
supporting the US attempt to extradite Assange on false charges of
espionage. We demand his immediate release from custody.

Assange must be freed without any conditions. He must be able to return to
Australia, or to a country of his choice, so he can seek urgently required
medical treatment. Assange must be guaranteed immunity from any US
extradition application.

The dauntless whistle-blower Chelsea Manning who leaked the important
documents published by Wikileaks in 2010 has been re-imprisoned by the
American government. Manning is being fined $1,000 per day for refusing to
testify before a grand jury against Assange.

This meeting extends its full support to the release of Chelsea Manning.
