Defend WikiLeaks and Julian Assange!

Imperialist diplomacy exposed: Behind the witch-hunt of WikiLeaks

The publication of US diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks provides an invaluable insight into the real state of international relations, the plots, conspiracies and crimes of the United States and other governments, and the mounting global tensions that threaten to spark new military conflicts.

The significance of the WikiLeaks exposures can be measured by the fact that the organization’s founder, Julian Assange, has faced death threats from US politicians and media figures as well as calls for his trial and execution. Assange is currently threatened with extradition to Sweden on trumped-up sex charges, while the Obama administration has labeled the WikiLeaks founder a "high-tech terrorist.”

The attack on WikiLeaks and Assange poses a grave threat to democratic rights and to all those who seek to expose the crimes of the US government.

The Socialist Equality Party and the International Students for Social Equality are holding these meetings to discuss the significance of the revelations and the political implications of the attack on WikiLeaks.
