A Timeline of Julian Assange 's Wrongful Detainment in UK?

[anhconroy]

accusing an innocent person in Russia is a common thing. Human rights suffer a lot there

[anhconroy]

When will the UN respond to this? This is a gross violation of human rights

[anthonyomoko]

The USA should also speak of/for Pablo Gonzalez, a journalist being held by the Polish government for more than 1 year!

[jeraldkozey]

Our government should do more in order to get Evan back home. It's not enough just to say that he was unlawfully detained, everyone knows it already. We've got to make it clear to russians that such provocations will only hurt them. Providing more military aid for Ukrainian army should do it, but in the end these problems will really end only with Putin's despotic regime being destroyed.

[brianhassett]

Let's compare how long Gershowitz is held compared to Griner. Let's wait and see. I have a bad feeling.

For those who don’t understand - reporter is a hostage

[danieldach]

Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the likelihood of being taken hostage or losing one's life has become as high as it currently is in Somalia. The ongoing battles and absence of recognized authorities have resulted in a perilous existence for those residing in these areas.

The US waging a proxy war against Russia, while simultaneously thinking it’s safe for a WSJ journalist to report on it.

[brianwhiting]

Maybe we can trade Tucker Carlson for Gershkovich

[Arco]

***FREEDOM IS"NT FREE LET'S SAVE BURMA***

[melidareichert]

I want to punish people who are responsible for prisoning our citizen who is just a simple journalist.

[sagonz]

[auro]

wsj should have disconnected the line when they called to tell they have caught a spy

[danialykhokhar]
