Do not extradite Julian Assange to the USA and make Britain a puppet of the USA.

Rejected 19 signatures

What the petition asks

Julian Assange, the co founder of WikiLeaks, an organisation/website that allowed individuals to share evidence of wrong doing around the world. However, due to the USA's embarrassed by leaking of their terrible actions, they want him, a NON US citizen to possibly face the death penalty in the USA.
This is a massive subject, please do your own research and then decide. However, what is at stake here is freedom of speech, do not fall for the American propaganda. This country of mine, that I love (Britain) that apparently wants to be a global player with Brexit has a chance to prove it by being respectful to the needs of a free press that will watch over the citizens of this world and point out when bad things are done by any country.
