Julian Assange is a symbol of the struggle for freedom of speech and democracy in our time. I stand in solidarity with him.
— Roger Waters

Our public officials have forgotten that they are ultimately accountable to the people who put them in office. Julian Assange took a courageous step by rightfully returning what belongs to the public domain. For that reason, I believe we need to stand behind him.

The prosecution of Julian Assange is a historic moment for press freedom and the First Amendment. It’s an unprecedented attack on journalism.
— Noam Chomsky

The attack on Assange is an assault on freedom of speech, and a turning point in our democracy.
— John Pilger

Assange is an icon on a scale we’ve never had. There’s no doubt he’d be of more value to the UK as an asset than in a US prison. We’ve seen this because he’s shown he’s for humanity, not profit.

The current situation that Julian Assange encounters is also what we face together. His predicament serves as a reflection of our society’s stance towards freedom of expression and press, which is the basis of any functioning democracy.
