More than one year since Assange illegal detention
Don’t spy if you can do the time
At least he is alive. What about the late Gonzalo Lira? Oh, that’s right, was not in your establishment media club. Not important.

Julian Assange.
He is still alive. How long did Gonzalo Lira spend in the Ukrainian jail before he died? Eight months! Why didn’t you do anything to free Gonzalo?
Bravo Wall Street Journal!
Dear God…please bring him home to his family and friends!!! 💚💚🙏🏻🌎☮️🇺🇸☘️
Disposible CIA asset
Prayers fir his safety and release. Prayers for his family❤❤

What do you give on the one year anniversary?

Congratulations. ! You should have been a basketball player. !
How can this be?
