Dit rapport heeft Nederlandse ondertitels op YouTube en Rumble

June 24 2023, the sculpture 'Anything to Say' by Italian artist Davide Dormino that shows Edward Snowden, Chelsea Manning and Julian Assange standing on chairs inviting you to speak out, is at Parliament Square in London.

Today is the rally for the release of publicist and journalist Julian Assange. In this report Djamila and Rico first visit the prison Belmarsh where they meet Sean, who's talks about the legal system in England, and what goes on in institutions like these, where he's spent most of his life.

Then at the demonstration many speakers standing on the empty chair next to the whistle-blowers, explain what is at stake and where the defence for Julian stands. Interviews with Davide Dormino and Stella Assange, music by David Rovics who sings 'Behind These Prison Walls'.
