John Shipton, father of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, has arrived in Moscow at the invitation of the BRICS Journalists Association and its co-chair, human rights advocate Mira Terada.
Shipton has been a tireless campaigner for his son’s release since Assange’s arrest and imprisonment, focusing on the implications of his prosecution for press freedom worldwide.
As a key figure in the international movement to prevent Assange’s extradition to the U.S., Shipton has travelled globally, meeting with diplomats, politicians, and human rights groups to raise awareness about his son’s case.
He has also organised rallies, participated in conferences, and collaborated with advocacy campaigns like Don’t Extradite Assange to mobilise public opinion against what he sees as a dangerous precedent for journalism and press freedom.

This is excellent news!
Hopefully, Julian Assange and Kim Dotcom, along with Dave Hodges, Rekkr, and Alex Jones can go to Russia soon, where they will be safe under ‘Political Asylum’ and thus non-extraditable to nations being currently run by criminals!
Lawfare will get worse as time and agendas go on…! Get out NOW while you can!
