Special screening of my film ‘Julian Assange and the Dark Secrets of War’ at the Human Rights Film Festival in Berlin tonight. Followed by a panel discussion on #pressfreedom with co-panelists @khrafnsson @candundaradasi and Sajad Mutashar https://t.co/R6s0nFvTq0
This is the first time I’ve seen a CNN guest take one of the network’s jingoistic halfwits to the woodshed on Ukraine and Taiwan so comprehensively in such a short amount of time. And it was @rogerwaters.
Er habe den Fall Julian #Assange eigentlich nicht annehmen wollen, sagt der ehemalige UN-Sonderberichterstatter für Folter, Nils Melzer. Dann beschäftigte er sich mit dem Fall. Und stellte dahinter ein "Systemversagen" fest. #Abo https://t.co/cONsiYIzkD
Hard to believe, but it looks real. Every serious press freedom group in the world has protested this. It is an appalling symbol of how far the British and American governments' commitment to human rights has declined.
How can we condemn authoritarian abuses abroad like this?
Reporters Without Borders: "It's well past time to put a stop to this travesty - Assange's extradition and prosecution would have severe and long-lasting implications for journalism and press freedom around the world #FreeAssangeNOW@RSF_inter#AssangeCase https://t.co/Is7d4cMYB1
"Die Verfolgung von Julian #Assange betrifft uns alle. Egal, ob man ihn Journalist nennt oder nicht - der Fall entscheidet darüber, ob die Pressefreiheit in Europa und USA noch etwas wert ist." @derspiegel

As I always say: Even in the darkest room, lighting one candle is enough for everyone to see.
Thanks to the London African Gospel Choir for lighting your powerful candle of love, truth & courage today! https://t.co/uOdBnvLZNW
https://t.co/HcnhZYiOc4 Disheartening to report on the increasing despair of residents of the city I reported from and called home for a number of years...
BREAKING: Steven Mnuchin is now flat-out REFUSING to disclose the businesses receiving $500,000,000,000 in bailout funds, claiming the info is "confidential"
4.5 MILLION businesses received government funds. Zero transparency.
Unconscionable, jaw-dropping corruption.
@StellaMoris1 It should be self-evident for journalists to defend freedom of press - not just in far-away countries, but when it comes under attack in our democracies as well. Julian is being brutally targeted and tortured for truthful reporting right on our doorstep...this needs to stop. Now.
BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the release of Chelsea Manning: "the court finds Ms. Manning's appearance before the Grand Jury is no longer needed, in light of which her detention no longer serves any coercive purpose."
