Independent journalist Suzie Dawson has written a very important and very long (a short book really) article about Julian Assange. In a nutshell it says that he is undisputedly a hero and that it is a moral disgrace that our governments are persecuting him, and that he might well die if he is held in captivity for much longer. You can see the full article here, and a summary, chapter list, of it here.
I wholeheartedly agree with Dawson.
Lee Camp does a good job interviewing her here in the first 20 minutes of this video. It is mostly about Assange, but also has good info about the latest on Snowden, and a bit at the end explaining about the anti-censorship media platform STEEMIT, which I wrote about yesterday, where Russia Insider will also be publishing going forward. Both Camp and Dawson are active on STEEMIT.
