  1. SIMPLE : IF ONE UPHOLDS AND SHARES THE TRUTH- YOU ALREADY KNOW WHAT THE OTHER PARTY IS ABOUT!!!😡😡😡FREE ASSANGE NOW!!

  2. Biden does not want this to happen while he is running for reelection. They will keep pushing this back

  3. They will never let him go. Democracy in action lol.

  4. Actually, I'm surprised a "fake news" outlet even cares about one of their own investigative journalists… not that they care one iota what happens to him, as they are pawns of the DEEP STATE & corporate industrial complex that runs most of our U.S. government. Shame on anyone and everyone who wishes to extradite this GREAT MAN.

  5. As an American, I'm ashamed of our lawmakers interfering with WE THE PEOPLE & our right to free speech. Free Julian Assange. He is a US national hero. Anyone who supports his extradition is not a true American who values free speech. The judges residing in the UK are clowns & USA puppets. We demand his release. Hurt him and you are hurting the very fabric of what once made this country so great.

  6. No one of is are free

    Well you better listen my sister's and brothers,
    'cause if you do you can hear
    There are voices still calling across the years.
    And they're all crying across the ocean,
    And they're cryin' across the land,
    And they will till we all come to understand.

    None of us are free.
    None of us are free.
    None of us are free, one of us are chained (Julian Assange is one of us)

    None of us are free… If Julian Assange be on jail!!!

    Free for Julian Assange, the free bird of notice, news and true!!! This is a threat against to you, the big "world under rules" that you create for you???? The hegemonic stupid and useless US exceptional statement ….

  7. Assange and Navalny, same same.

  8. America glorified Navalny, but despises Assange 😂😂😂😂

  9. And why aren't those involved charged with WAR CRIMES? Because the USA is corrupt, has zero honour left around the world and zero respect from anyone.

  10. Ever since Julian has been persecuted well over a decade ago

    Spirit tells me this innocent truth seeker "Julian Assange is the hinge point" in this new age of Aquarius – he must! be saved!!!

    by freeing a free man-we save many more

  11. P.S. For Navalny , read Assange………..our very own political prisoner.

  12. probably a good idea. We all know the CIA Manifesto. If Assange dies in US jail. We will treat US like Navalny

  13. The us put american lives in danger by being a corrupt disgusting war criminal. This man only brought it to light.

  14. The biggest PREACHERS of human rights and democracy(US and the UK) to poor third world countries are the biggest violaters.(Julian Asange, Gaza)

  15. Any respect I may have had for Britain and the United States of America, is gone. Julian Assange is a hero, they will make him a martyr. Free Julian Assange Now.

  16. He is being persecuted for exposing US war crimes and wrongdoing, basically for being a journalist.

  17. Let him go ffs the man's been through enough
    I can't believe the USA. SO petty no one can even remember what he did or didn't do.

  18. It's too much of a hot potato at the moment, when things quite down, they will ship. him out of the country under cover of darkness answering and fulfilling their masters wishes.

  19. Cruel cruel cruel. They know the the leaker was pardoned in 2015 by Obama. This is just another level of torture by bureaucrats

  20. Never say again that Andrew tate is guilty. Same happend to him. When you tell the truth and become a problem to the gouvernment they will come for you!

  21. Our government is dangerous and the media is corrupt

  22. # FREEDOM Julian Assange. USA is a terrorist

  23. "Brought back on a plane" – Assange is Australian, he's not American!!
    How about China "brings back" our reporters that talk about Uyghur camps to give them a "fair" trial

  24. is he looking for housing? a place to live when he gers out of his quagmire? any prospects in mind?

  25. i am sure in a display of ethics on an international level this move was made. because of ethics, ethics for an accused predator , or maybe just humanity for an accused predator

  26. We figured this would happen. Biden is going to use this to leverage votes and so the brits will hold off until Biden decides how to use this for his corruption

  27. The Australian Government has no back bone.

  28. I think Donald Trump has committed way more feimes than Assange!!

  29. Bring him home its nothing but american vindictiveness you lot want allies earn them ,end the witch hunt it makes you look weak like your support for the genocide in gaza does a d your political lack of support for ukraine how can We your allies trust america any more

  30. Cowards by the West by pointing fingers at putin but the west does the same to silent the voice of the people.

  31. Let him free so he can show those that dont know whats been happening in the last 4 years.

  32. Just let the Man Free already!! FREE Julian Assange

  33. So much bull, oh god the pathetic society we live in, especially the USA and Biden family

  34. Lock up the war criminals and free Julian!

  35. Here is a man who is in need of asylum , yet he languishes in a uk jail . Why is he not provided with a nice hotel room with good wifi , cash card, 40 quid a week ,3 meals a day , doctor on site , pastor on site
