Craig Murray On The 'Slow Motion Execution' Of Julian Assange. popularresistance.org As Julian Assange continues to fight extradition to the United States to face prosecution under the Espionage Act, a growing chorus of voices is rising to demand an end to his persecution.

Animal-Grade Prison Food Indicts US Society. popularresistance.org I've written in the past about an awful experience I had in prison a decade ago while serving 23 months in prison after blowing the whistle on the CIA's torture program.
