John Shipton: ‘Don’t Underestimate The Consequence Of The Bravery Of My Son Julian Assange’ by Tommy Sheridan

Was the arrest of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange justice against a man who broke the law or a warning that journalism is under threat, not only in the United States, but globally?
Exactly 10 years ago, WikiLeaks, the organization founded by Julian Assange, exposed the dark secrets and excesses of the powerful nations of the world as they conduct illegal wars across the planet by publishing the Iraq War Logs, the 22nd of October 2010. Those war logs were published, and they are stunning. They reveal what many had suspected, that war claims were endemic within the United States invasion of Iraq. Of the recorded deaths, two thirds were civilian deaths. A minimum of sixty-six thousand civilians were recorded to have died. Julian Assange did a service to the world because he exposed the darkness that the United States visited on Iraq. 10 years on, it’s Julian Assange that’s in a prison cell in London’s Belmarsh, not the strategists of that illegal war., and not those who ordered the gunships to shoot innocent journalists and civilians in Iraq, murdering them and cheering about it.
