GM! This is our generation’s Nelson Mandela 1990 moment.
Let’s celebrate Assange, and keep pushing for all journalists illegally imprisoned to be released.
Discussion
With a subtle difference: Assange is not a terrorist.
True. Mandela was a freedom fighter against the apartheid regime, fighting for equal rights and democracy. He also supported the use of force against tyranny. I would have done the same.
Assange is a freedom fighter, fighting for freedom of speech and transparency in democracies. And when the suppressing law was used against his human rights, he was forced to break them. I hope I would have done the same in his situation.
