I’m with his brother at an HRF event in Nashville. Julian’s speech yesterday was so awesome in bringing awareness to such hypocrisy all around us. Such a bright light for freedom.
First of all, please check what is this Council and what are its accomplishments, then you will understand what is this hearing worth. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliamentary_Assembly_of_the_Council_of_Europe Now, it is important to remember that all those 300+members are those the same people that in some time in the futurenwill be voting for so called „EU chat control” if it is accepted now by EU governments. https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/19/24181214/eu-chat-control-law-propose-scanning-encrypted-messages-csam In the end it might be just political game between the EU and UK+US. If Julian was some threat to them they wouldn’t have any hearing at all.
When Ross Ulbricht?

Pls. explain!? How can he be a political prisoner when he was trying to escape rape/sexual abuse changes? FFS. He was wanted in Sweden! It would have been word against word. No prof. He would have been let go the same day. No. Running and hiding in some embassy to avoid the humiliation? from an investigation that would have been closed the day it was opened, that's share stupidity. What he did at that moment was a way larger offense in another jurisdiction. Once he figured this out, I bet he had a severe *dhogh* moment. He should have gone to Sweden, had been home for dinner. Pls. explain?
