My dear friend Julian continues to waste away in Britain’ Guantanamo, the victim of ruthless Western governments determined to suck his life slowly from his body as a cautionary tale to anyone who dares expose inconvenient truths. DiEM25, the movement that Julian co-founded, is moving heaven and earth to stop them. Today, Saturday 3^rd July, we were demonstrating in front of embassies to celebrate his 50^th birthday, to demand his immediate release and to wish him at least another 50 years of being a thorn in the global oligarchy’s backside.
