SAWC Media Release: Australian government must act NOW to stop US extraditing Assange

Today marks the launch of ‘Beat the Blockade’ – a day of action on April 5 to protest the extrajudicial financial blockade of WikiLeaks and raise vital funds for their work to continue.
There are no more hearts and minds to be won in Afghanistan. But there is Australian and Afghan blood there to be saved. Stand Fast says, “If Gillard can’t come up with an exit plan she should listen to the plan the majority Australians already have – withdraw Australian troops from Afghanistan immediately.”
The Australian government must act now to prevent the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States. If extradited to Sweden he could be secretly sent on to the United States under a legal device known as ‘temporary surrender’.

Bin Laden killed: West must get its troops out of Afghanistan now The assassination of Osama bin Laden by US special forces in Pakistan has been hailed by many world leaders as a turning point in the “war on terror”.
We salute the many thousands of protesters who have inspired millions across the world with their courage and solidarity. This wave of struggle reveals how false is the idea peddled by Western leaders - including the Gillard government - that the way to bring democracy and liberation is invasion and occupation, as they justified the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
