After 1,000 Days in Belmarsh Prison, Campaigners Demand Freedom for Julian Assangehttps://www.commondreams.org/news/2022/01/05/after-1000-days-belmarsh-prison-campaigners-demand-freedom-julian-assangePress freedom campaigners on Wednesday marked Julian Assange's 1,000th day of imprisonment in London's Belmarsh Prison with renewed demands for the WikiLeaks publisher's freedom ahead of his looming potential extradition to the United States.
"Journalism is not a crime," the Assange Defense Committee tweeted. "#FreeAssange.
#DropTheCharges."
Assange's partner Stella Morris said in a statement: "It will be 1,000 days this Wednesday that Julian Assange has spent in the harshest prison in the U.K. His young children, ages two and four, have no memory of their father outside the highest security prison of the U.K."
