April 25 marks 13 years since Julian Assange through @wikileaks began the #gitmofiles, lifting a lid on atrocities and abuses at the US detention camp
For standing up for the public’s right to know, the publisher has endured over 13 years detention already, and faces a 175 year sentence or worse if extradited to the US
Around the world rights groups, heads of state, politicians and the public have made their feelings clear that his prosecution must be dropped and he be allowed to be reunited with his young family
On May 20 a UK court will decide if it will allow his extradition which experts including the United Nations have said he will likely not survive

There are only four weeks left (May 20) until Julian Assange finds out whether the UK will allow his extradition to the US for reporting which exposed war crimes and human rights violations
All major free speech and human rights orgs have denounced his prosecution as an attack on the publics’ right to know
