Free Julian Assange, a hero of the people.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

Julian Assange has been arrested for made up crimes that he did not commit. He showed the world the corruption within our governments around the world.

America and the UK created a crime that never happened to have him arrested. We the people rightfully request the release of this hero.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

This is a decision for the courts, which are independent of the UK Parliament and Government.
