Julian Assange refused permission to appeal against US extradition

Free Assange. He hasn't comitted any crimes, other than publish facts which ought to be publicly known. This is an attempt to muzzle journalism with WW1 laws which are undemocratic and tyrranical. (espionage act)

It's clearly been a politically motivated attack. The smears, the character assassinations have worked, sadly. There's no reason to keep him in a maximum security prison in solitary.
