For those living in Melbourne:

PROTEST TO DEFEND WIKILEAKS and JULIAN ASSANGE

Friday 17th Dec 2010, 5.30pm @ State Library of Victoria (cnr Swanston & La Trobe streets, city)

After two rallies in Melbourne of over one thousand people we need to continue the fight to defend freedom of speech and to defend Wikileaks.

In Sydney the protest was attacked by the police. Oppose such flagrant violations of our rights.

Julian Assange is still in prison and his bail hearing is on Monday. We need to continue to pressure the Australian government to support him. We need to continue the mobilisations on the streets to defend our rights to freedom of press, freedom of association and against the worldwide hysteria and persecution of Wikileaks.

Last rally over 3000 people said they were attending! Lets make it more.

The organisers would also like to invite anyone who is interested in forming a campaign group to organise further actions to defend Assange and Wikileaks to our first campaign meeting, Thursday 16 December at 6pm at Trades Hall, crn Victoria and Lygon Sts. All welcome.
