RSF urges the UK government to prioritise the principles of freedom of expression and the defence of journalism in its treatment the Wikileaks founder, and to act in accordance with UK law and the country’s international human rights obligations.

As a matter of urgency, please sign this petition calling for the United Kingdom not to comply with the United States’ request to extradite Julian Assange. Share this appeal using the #FreeAssange hashtag!

Assange is currently held in London’s top security Belmarsh prison, where his state of health is very worrying. His extradition hearing is due to start in London on 24 February. We will be there to support him. We need to gather as many signatures as possible before then.
