Julian Assange must be set free, like all the other political prisoners of US Empire,” said BAR executive editor Glen Ford. The Wikileaks founder, currently locked up Britain’s Belmarsh prison, faces trial for extradition to the US on February 24. “Nobody has been pursued with more ferocity by the US national security state than Julian Assange,” Ford told radio program host Randy Credico. “It really shows how effective Wikileaks has been in revealing the crimes of US imperialism all over the world.”
