No Extradition – Julian Assange and the Labour Party
Julian Assange has been largely abandoned by the UK’s political class. His imprisonment and possible extradition to Trump’s USA remains one of the outrages of our time.
This event will discuss the Assange case and the role of the UK Labour Party. The speakers are Pablo Navarrete, the director of the documentary No Extradition (2020, 35 mins) and Dr Deepa Driver (Free the Truth/Camden Momentum).
Chaired by Ealing Momentum.
Free entry.
6.45pm-8pm BST Tuesday, 27 October, 2020
(Event will start at 7pm)

No Extradition follows John Shipton, the father of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, over a number of months as he campaigns to prevent his son from being extradited to the United States and secure his release from Britain’s Belmarsh maximum-security prison. The film also features some of the individuals and grassroots groups campaigning in the UK campaigning for Assange’s freedom.
“Pablo Navarrete’s outstanding film No Extradition could be titled, ‘No Pasaran!’ It has the same principled defiance and reflects the refusal of Julian Assange to comply with his persecutors and be broken by them.” – John Pilger, Journalist & Documentary Filmmaker
