Don't Extradite Assange
To halt the extradition case against Julian Assange.
Why is this important?
Your predecessor, Sajid Javid, referred the extradition case of Julian Assange to the courts. It has since become clear that the extradition treaty between the UK and the US specifically forbids extradition for political cases. Julian Assange is charged by the Trump government with publishing the Afghan and Iraq war logs. These are clearly political actions for which he could face 175 years in jail. We urge you to review Sajid Javid's decision and to revoke his decision to commit Julian Assange to extradition proceedings.
