Block Julian Assange's extradition to The US and let him walk free.

Rejected 20 signatures

What the petition asks

Julian Assange has today been arrested by UK authorities due to a US warrant / extradition order. His arrest today violates the International Human Rights Law (IHRL).

We demand that Parliament adhere to International Human Rights Law, block Julian's extradition to the US and let him walk free.

Julian has spent the past seven years in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London after being given political asylum by the Ecuadorian Government. However, he has recently been kept in solitary confinement and shut off from the outside world. His arrest today completely violates the International Human Rights Law (IHRL).

In 2016 the UN declared that Julian was in arbitrary detention and should walk free.

Julian is an innocent man and has only ever exposed wrongdoings and published the truth!

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 Government and Parliament.
