The extradition case against Julian Assange is now entering its final phase — and the international pressure for his freedom is mounting.


From Presidents and Prime Ministers to Nobel Peace Prize winners, the international community is crying out against the injustice of Assange's prosecution — and its implication for press freedom worldwide.

On 9 December, the world's leading journalists, lawyers, and human rights defenders will gather at the National Press Club in Washington, DC as witnesses to the Biden administration’s crackdown on free speech and the First Amendment.


Join them. It's not too late to stand on the right side of history. Register now to attend the Tribunal in person or follow the proceedings online.
