Many friends of the Bradley Manning Support Network are asking Ecuador to grant Assange’s request via RootsAction. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://t.ymlp272.net/mymsapajbsbavayeagauqeey/click.php">Click here</a> to sign the request!</p>
<p><em>“Assange’s fear of ending up in the clutches of the US is plainly rational… consider the treatment of Bradley Manning”</em></p>
<p><b>By Glenn Greenwald, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://t.ymlp272.net/mymuaaajbsbadayearauqeey/click.php">UK Guardian (Op-Ed).</a> June 20, 2012</b></p>
<p>If one asks current or former WikiLeaks associates what their greatest fear is, almost none cites prosecution by their own country. Most trust their own nation’s justice system to recognize that they have committed no crime. The primary fear is being turned over to the US. That is the crucial context for understanding Julian Assange‘s 16-month fight to avoid extradition to Sweden, a fight that led him to seek asylum, Tuesday, in the London Embassy of Ecuador.</p>

“[Bradley Manning] has participated in Pride marches and campaigned against the ‘Don’t ask, don’t tell’ restrictions on gay military personnel… Manning is also a humanist and a man with a conscience. When he discovered human rights violations by the US armed forces and duplicity by the US government, he was shocked and distressed… believing it was betraying the US ideals of democracy and human rights.“<br>
-Human rights activist Peter Tatchell
