Julian Assange dissident

Public Friend No. 1. Julian Assange deserves a dissident’s human rights award. The journalist Julian Assange is perhaps the most important dissident at this time being persecuted for courageously telling the ‘inconvenient’ truth. Indeed without him there is no way as credible of knowing what’s going on in certain areas of wrongdoing i.e. what abuses, in our name, are being permitted by our elected leaders! Democracy cannot function properly without public scrutiny, which can only be achieved if the people are truthfully informed. WikiLeaks publishing founded by Assange reaches the places that the authorities ‘Public Relations’ does not reach. Julian Assange deserves a ‘dissident human rights award’
