Interesting that June 19th is called 'Freedom Day' in the USA, due to that being the date on which slaves learned of the Emancipation Proclamation two years earlier, and is the date Assange entered the Ecuadorian embassy.

However aggravating and unlawful Assange's present confinement is, I am certain that being surrendered to the tender mercies of Bloody Gina Haspel would not be an improvement for him. He needs to get out of prison, but not into some black site where he can be subjected to the kinds of torture Haspel infamously committed to the prisoners in the CIA torture palace in Thailand she ran.

I hope it can be managed, and not only for Assange's personal sake, but for all of ours. While Assange is just one person, his work and speech has made all our lives the richer. All our freedom of speech is limited by the limitations on his.

Thanks!
