Julian Assange’s brother and father on the fight for his freedom

Episode 116 with Gabriel and John Shipton

Gabriel and John Shipton rejoin us to discuss their powerful documentary, Ithaka, the story of Julian Assange’s persecution and incarceration for whistleblowing on US war crimes, as well as an account of his family’s advocacy to free him from prison and prevent his extradition to the United States, where he faces a potential sentence of 175 years in jail.
