#CODEPINK Demands #Biden Pardon the #Activists and #Whistleblowers

Dec. 18, 2024

"CODEPINK calls for the pardon of several political prisoners, activists, lawyers and other individuals who faced targeted prosecution or unjust imprisonment. President Biden has just over 30 days left in the Oval Office where he can exercise his pardon power. In recent weeks, he pardoned his own son, fraudsters, and a former judge who took millions in kickbacks to send children to prison under false charges. We demand President Biden issue pardons to whistleblowers, truth tellers, activists, and land-defenders such as:

#LeonardPeltier
#StevenDonziger
#AssataShakur
#MumiaAbu-Jamal
#JulianAssange
#EdwardSnowden
#JohnKiriakou
#JamilAlAmin
#KamauSadiki
#ShukriAbuBaker

"CODEPINK believes that to build a more just and peaceful world, we have to protect the people and our planet. The United States has a long history of repression, unjust prosecution, and wrongful imprisonment of activists who strive to make the world a better place.

"Figures like Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, John Kiriakou and other whistleblowers who faced prosecution for telling the world the truth about the US military, CIA torture, or the US surveillance apparatus have done the people of the world a great service. Their bravery and great personal sacrifice shed a light on grave injustices that were being carried out in the name of the American people without their knowledge.

"Indigenous activists like Leonard Peltier who’s case was riddled with recanted statements from key witnesses and other due process issues, is serving two consecutive life sentences at the age of 80. He’s been in prison since 1976 and maintains his innocence.

"Steven Donziger, a lawyer that fought on behalf of the indigenous people of the Ecuadorian amazon against Chevron’s harm to their land, faced prosecution as a retaliation from the Chevron company. Activists defending our earth and our rights and individuals shedding light on injustice play a vital role in our mission to educate on war and imperialism. We send them our solidarity.

"We also recognize the prison system in the United States as a tool of the war economy that disproportionately prosecutes and locks-up poor people and people of color. As an organization, we teach that the war industry, prison industry, and all oppressive systems in the U.S. are interlinked.

"Free all political prisoners, end repression of peace and justice advocates!"

Mit dem #Machtwechsel in #Ecuador von Correa zu Lenin wurde der Druck auf den nunmehr "unerwünschten Gast" #JulianAssange erhöht. Im Zuge dessen wurde ihm auch der via Correa ausgestellte ecuadorianische Pass entzogen und organisiert, dass er aus der Botschaft rausgeworfen wurde: in die Hände des britischen Polizei, so dass er schliesslich nach #Belmarsh (besser: #Hellmarsh) kam.

#BerndFix an der #CoSin2024 mit #WikiLeaks-Vortrag - zu #FreeAssange und (jetzt) #AssangeFree.

Es wird eine Gesamtübersicht seit den ersten Kontakten mit #JulianAssange 2008 (am CCC-Kongress) angekündigt; Bernd rekapituliert die Geschichte seither.

Punkto Spendeneinnahmen ist gleich einmal interessant:

Nach der Publikation der US-Depeschen nahm das Spendenaufkommen via #PayPal massiv zu: ca. EUR 100k / d wurden eingenommen - bis zum Punkt, wo PayPal das Konto der Stiftung @wauland sperrte.

Was working on a Free #Assange post but it has now changed to an Assange #Free 🆓 post !!!

After many years of ⛓️ #imprisonment he is safely back with his family in #Australia 🇦🇺

Millions of people can finally remove the "FreeAssange" from their profiles 😋

#FreeAssange is now > #AssangeFree 👍

This case shows that many small people fighting back against the #government can have some impact :)
