Sydney Belmarsh Tribunal an Event in Sydney for Julian Assange

Inspired by the Russell-Sartre Tribunals of the Vietnam War, the Belmarsh Tribunal brings together a range of expert witnesses — from lawyers to journalists to parliamentarians, union officials, whistleblowers and human rights defenders — to present evidence of this attack on publishers, to seek justice for the crimes they expose, and to demand the Biden Administration cease this prosecution.

Join us live for the Assange Belmarsh Tribunal in Sydney on March 4 at 7pm AEST (8am GMT, 3am EST) when some of Australia's most prominent politicians, lawyers, journalists and victims testify in defence of Julian Assange.

Guests include former Foreign Minister Bob Carr, Jennifer Robinson, Yanis Varoufakis, Stella Assange, David McBride, Kerry O'Brien, Bernard Collaery , Kylie Moore-Gilbert, MEAA director Karen Percy & more. 

Hosted by Mary Kostakidis & Mark Davis.

Organised by Progressive International & Wau Holland foundation. Co-sponsored by the Search Foundation, Jacobin, PEN Sydney, PEN International, Declassified Australia, NSW Council for Civil Liberties, Consortium News & The Walkley Foundation.

The Belmarsh Tribunal will take place in the Great Hall of Sydney University. Up to 400 can attend in person. RSVP here: https://act.progressive.international/belmarsh-tribunal-sydney/

That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ...
