Tribute to Julian Assange

On the occasion of the national day of Australia – 26^th January

Saturday 26^th January 2019, Time: 19.00

ΑΙΤΙΟΝ Cafe, Tziraion 8-10   Acropolis Metro station (Ath. Diakou exit)

In the summer of 2018 a visit by two officials of the Australian High Commission in London to Julian Assange in the Embassy of Ecuador inspired some vain hopes that the Australian government would be prepared finally to confront its responsibilities towards Australian citizen Julian Assange. In the meantime the situation has greatly worsened for Julian. The internal regime in the embassy has become inhumanly harsh. More recently, systematic disinformation from the media has begun to insult not only Assange but also the government of Ecuador.

The Greek section of the international solidarity network for Julian Assange and Wikileaks (Unity4j) invites you to a function of tribute to the courageous Australian journalist Julian Assange. The programme includes video presentations with participation from:

Julian Assange’s lawyer Jennifer Robinson
The well-known Australian journalist John Pilger
The combative Greek-Australian supporter of Assange Phillip Adams (proud descendant of the 1821 revolutionary Anagnostaras)

The presentations will be followed by discussion. Videos subtitled in Greek, discussion primarily in Greek.
