More than 1300 #JournalistsSpeakUpForAssange and demand that #Assange be released immediately from #prison, that the #UK government and judiciary refuse to permit a politically-motivated #extradition, and that the #US government drop the charges of #espionage. 

Publishing #classified #information is an integral part of #journalism. If the US #government can extradite Assange for this, it will clear the way for governments to criminalize any of us, anywhere in the world. Who will be next?

This is why we are speaking up in defence of #JulianAssange, now at this dangerous time.
