On December 9, 2023, the Belmarsh Tribunal will return to Washington, D.C., for its most urgent session since its launch in 2020. The Tribunal calls for the release of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange as his potential extradition from the U.K. to the U.S. reaches its denouement with his final U.K. court hearing expected in early 2024.

Inspired by the Russell-Sartre Tribunals of the Vietnam War, the Belmarsh Tribunal brings together a range of expert witnesses — from constitutional lawyers to acclaimed journalists and human rights defenders — to present evidence of the assault on press freedom and the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

This D.C. sitting of the Tribunal will be co-chaired by Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and The Intercept's Ryan Grim.

  • As an Australian, I’m appalled at the lack of support for Assange. He is an Australian citizen, what right does America have to impose a sentence on Assange. If he was exposing Russian war crimes, he would have been praised. I despise what America stands for.

    Free Assange. Free Press freedom. Free Truth. Free Palestine

  • So sad that my country Australia is not willing to fight for the freedom of one of our own upright citizen. So so sad.

    How sad Julian Assange still not set free from hostage.
  • @morpheous7
    No one deserves a peace prize more than Julian Assange
  • Assange is what a real investigative journalist looks like, who does the job a journalist should do, like the guys that exposed Watergate so long ago.

    😢Why do people not realize how important Julian Assange is for all of us. He must be released NOW.❤

    I am disgusted that mainstream media has all but forgotten Julian Assange. Good on Amy Goodman and Democracy Now. And all the other True journalsts that are speaking out.
