The unwavering support and commitment Gareth Peirce has demonstrated in Julian's case should act as an inspiration for any aspiring human rights lawyer.
“Every time we witness an injustice and do not act, we train our character to be passive in its presence and thereby eventually lose all ability to defend ourselves and those we love" - Julian Assange
BREAKING:
“The United States has issued a non-assurance in relation to the First Amendment, and a standard assurance in relation to the death penalty. It makes no undertaking to withdraw the prosecution's previous assertion that Julian has no First Amendment rights because he is not a U.S citizen. Instead, the US has limited itself to blatant weasel words claiming that Julian can "seek to raise" the First Amendment if extradited. The diplomatic note does nothing to relieve our family's extreme distress about his future -- his grim expectation of spending the rest of his life in isolation in US prison for publishing award-winning journalism. The Biden Administration must drop this dangerous prosecution before it is too late.”

Thank you to UNSR on torture @DrAliceJEdwards for raising the cases of #Navalny & my clients #JulianAssange & #JimmyLai in her address to @UN_HRC#HRC55 today. She called on the relevant states - Russia, Hong Kong & China, US & UK to investigate & promptly respond to her concerns
Absolutely gobsmacked to say I've been promoted to Professor (from 1st March). I really can't quite believe it. It's a privilege working with such wonderful colleagues, collaborators, and students. And to my wife & family, without whom nothing is possible.
Today our kids saw Julian in Belmarsh high security prison. We took this picture outside. On Tuesday the final US extradition hearing begins. We don’t know what happens next.
#FreeAssangeNOW
This journalist has been in a London prison for almost five years for exposing state criminality.
If the UK sends to the country he exposed he will die in a US prison cell.
This week the UK will decide. It’s now or never. Defend Assange. His life and the future of journalism depend on it.
