Britain: the Assange arrest – Blairites run to the support of imperialism The arrest of Julian Assange is a vicious assault on basic democratic rights. Through WikiLeaks, Assange has exposed the hair-raising crimes of US imperialism and its allies, including the UK. While war criminals like Bush and Blair walk free, Assange now faces the prospect of spending the rest of his life in a US prison. A defence of Assange is a defence of the right to freedom of expression and the right to information, against imperialist aggression.
Britain: Julian Assange arrested by Met Police Julian Assange has been arrested in London today at the Ecuadorian Embassy on a US extradition warrant.
