With all the activity in London this week it was easy to miss a relentless series of actions mainly centred around Washington DC organised by @action_4assange & endorsed by some of the most reputable grassroots activism orgs in the world.
But I've got the goods! Pic thread:
DECLASSIFIED UK will launch next week
New website, information on our Board, Advisers and Supporters and a film on why it's needed
Plus new stories on whistleblowing, GCHQ, media, Gurkhas, official secrecy
Public service journalism
Please follow us & retweet @declassifieduk

I am concerned about the system we exist in-- that an American presidential candidate (@BernieSanders) feels as if he cannot comment on the biggest press freedom case of modern history because of the potential political consequences for doing so.
One of The Freedom of Speech Society's initiatives is the Conversations Podcast (@SpeakTruthPod). We speak to journalists that have been punished for reporting uncomfortable truths. Their stories are important.
The first interview I've given in quite a while: two hours with the very kind, very empathetic and very smart @Tareq_Haddad
Really appreciate everyone's help and solidarity at this time!

“If there be time to expose through discussion, the falsehoods and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence"
- Justice Louis Brandeis, 1927
