Kako su poznate osobe reagirale na hapšenje osnivača WikiLeaksa Juliana Assangea

“SAD, Velika Britanija i Ekvador objavile su rat protiv istine. Njihove tajne i korupcija su važnije njima od ljudskih prava i naših ljudskih potreba da znamo istinu”, ovim riječima oglasio se osnivač Megauploada iKim Dotcom na Twitteru povodom hapšenja Juliana Assangea.

Pamela Anderson koja je prethodno izjavila za američki Fox News da je imala vezu sa Julianom Assangeom retweetovala je nešto još 4. aprila što je bilo neka vrsta odgovora na njegovo hapšenje.

Oglasio se i Edward Snowden o hapšenju. Kazao je da su Assangeu prekršena ljudska prava.

Important background for journalists covering the arrest of Julian #Assange by Ecuador: the United Nations formally ruled his detention to be arbitrary, a violation of human rights. They have repeatedly issued statements calling for him to walk free--including very recently. pic.twitter.com/fr12rYdWUF

H.M. So, korejsko-američki pisac, rekao je da hapšenje osnivača WikiLeaksa nanijelo loš ugled Zapadu koji se uvijek poziva na slobodu govora, prava pojedinaca itd.

They finally did it. After 7 years, Ecuador has expelled Julian Assange from its embassy and he is now in the custody of British police. This does not reflect well on Western society and the sacrosanct principles of classical liberalism. #freespeech #wikileaks #freeassange pic.twitter.com/tDweyiXUKq

S druge strane, ministar vanjskih poslova Velike Britanije Jeremy Hunt zahvalio se Vladi Ekvadora za saradnju na hapšenju Assangea.

Julian Assange is no hero and no one is above the law. He has hidden from the truth for years. Thank you Ecuador and President @Lenin Moreno for your cooperation with @foreignoffice to ensure Assange faces justice

Podsjećamo, britanska policija uhapsila je danas u Ambasadi Ekvadora u Londonu osnivača WikiLeaksa Juliana Assangea, nakon što je Ekvador povukao njegov zahtjev za azilom.

WikiLeaks, odnosno Assange, objavili su mnogobrojne tajne Vojske SAD-a, pogotovo povjerljive informacije o ratovima u Iraku i Afganistanu.

This man is a son, a father, a brother. He has won dozens of journalism awards. He's been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize every year since 2010. Powerful actors, including CIA, are engaged in a sophisticated effort to dehumanise, delegitimize and imprison him. #ProtectJulian pic.twitter.com/dVBf1EcMa5

Assangeovo hapšenje povuklo je oštre reakcije kako od njegovih pristalica tako i od protivnika.
