A Timeline of Julian Assange 's Wrongful Detainment in UK?
accusing an innocent person in Russia is a common thing. Human rights suffer a lot there
Julian Assange?
Putin is waging war in Ukraine at any cost, and this does not stop him for a minute. He continues to kill thousands of civilians just for the sake of his sick interests
You say like it doesn't happen here😂
True. I really hope he will be brought home soon, this has to happen as soon as possible, we all know what russian jails do to people. They obviously had no real reason to arrest this man and we should do whatever it takes in order to bring him home.
@@GlowingPie Personally, in Europe it is rare, I do not know where you live and how you have
The USA should also speak of/for Pablo Gonzalez, a journalist being held by the Polish government for more than 1 year!
When will the UN respond to this? This is a gross violation of human rights
There are no human rights for the Russians. They do whatever they want to people, especially in the occupied territories. That's why it's important to support Ukraine so they can liberate all their territories as soon as possible
@@brittcrona7802 never going to happen... ukraine is screwed... serves them right.
I don’t believe that UN will do something in ukraine. They haven’t any power
@@brittcrona7802 if Putin doesn’t care about his own Russian soldiers, they won’t care about another too
@@electro1622 if we don’t stop Russian terror in Ukraine, Putin will go further
Let's compare how long Gershowitz is held compared to Griner. Let's wait and see. I have a bad feeling.
Our government should do more in order to get Evan back home. It's not enough just to say that he was unlawfully detained, everyone knows it already. We've got to make it clear to russians that such provocations will only hurt them. Providing more military aid for Ukrainian army should do it, but in the end these problems will really end only with Putin's despotic regime being destroyed.
Daily battles and the absence of recognized authority create an extremely dangerous environment in these territories. The probability of returning, irrespective of whether civilians are assisted or not, is minimal.
I agree. The priority right now is to help Ukraine
Of course, we have to act!
Stop turning a blind eye to the permissiveness of the Russians
So many people are now suffering because of Russia's actions. I hope that the defeat of these liars, terrorists and occupiers is near. We need to support Ukraine even more
Free Julian Assange!
Рососия 🤡🇷🇺
👍
Russia refuses to negotiate the return of the reporter to his homeland, which is already a solid argument for recognizing Russia as a terrorist state, and to use appropriate methods of fighting with the Putin regime
For those who don’t understand - reporter is a hostage
The reporter was arrested illegally, which makes him a prisoner of the Kremlin. There are no independent media left in Russia because journalists who told the truth were killed or arrested, with the beginning of the Russian war against Ukraine the situation worsened, Russia violates human rights not only in the occupied territories but also in its own
Even if assistance is extended to civilians, the probability of returning is very slim. There are no guarantees that law enforcement authorities in Russian territory will not apprehend you.
Correct. Russia has broken every possible law in the world
He met Snowden for greeting him
The possibility of being detained by law enforcement authorities in Russian territory remains uncertain. Evan Gershkovich, for example, was arrested on suspicion of espionage.

Damnit
Russia's refusal serves as further confirmation of the Kremlin's terrorist tactics, which not only affect war but also civilians, and it is crucial to stop such incidents.
@@danieldach4697 suck it up princess....he was a spy and got caught.
What was he doing in russia My gosh
He's a journalist he was reporting
@@MRLONG758 how do you know that wasn't just a cover, he fits the agency's recruiting profile perfectly
@@MiamiMillionaire Russia kills spies and political opposition, so if he was indeed a spy he'd be dead. They're using him as a political pawn, just as they did with Britney Griner
there is no law prohibiting the presence of international reporters on the territory of the Russian Federation, but there are human rights that prohibit the illegal detention of a person without a good reason, which is what Russia is doing now
The persistent fighting and absence of legitimate authority pose great risks to daily life in these territories. Even if you are in Russia, there is no guarantee that you won't be detained by law enforcement authorities.
Due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the likelihood of being taken hostage or losing one's life has become as high as it currently is in Somalia. The ongoing battles and absence of recognized authorities have resulted in a perilous existence for those residing in these areas.
Russia couldn’t do anything at the battlefields so they commit crimes in another area.
@@brucemiller434 if someone believes into “good Russians”, look to the eastern Ukraine - it is a picture what Putin wants to do with the rest part of Ukraine
Exactly, suffering and destruction - only two things that follow them. I really hope that Evan will be returned home as soon as possible, but considering that russia is a terrorist state, I'm not super optimistic about it.
The problem is, this has always been a byproduct of Putin. He has never accepted the idea of democracy and his entire pursuit has been to reestablish the Soviet Union with him at the head. Things are bad in Somalia, but to compare it to Russia is not helpful. Russia could have been a force for the good of the world. Instead Putin's greed and narcissism plus his paranoia have doomed all its people until the oligarchs take him out to the woodshed and do what will inevitably be done.
@@andersonlangosh6386 I am sure that returning Evan as well as releasing the remaining hostages of the Kremlin regime will help to supply the Ukrainian army because they are the main role in achieving victory over the terrorist regime of Putin
Maybe we can exchange Britney Grinder for him?
They're both American.
@@ibrahimmahrir don’t let logic stop him from looking foolish
Russia wants it, the reporter was arrested for no reason because Russia wants to use it for ransom, and get what they want
The state of affairs has evolved to the extent that the ones wielding guns are the ones determining the law. Attempting to negotiate with terrorists is fruitless, and only military aid can rescue the multitude of captives. We must persist in supporting the Ukrainians in their fight for complete liberation from the Russians. It is only then that we can restore law and order.
Funny joke but you have to agree that such provocations should not be left without an answer. Our government should not only do everything it can to get Evan back home, but also stop russians from provocating US in such a despicable way.
Same indignation for Julian Assange?.....
Why imprison him Evan Gershkovich |
He was just a journalist who wanted to write an article on Wagner PMC. Clearly russian government didn't like that idea. And considering how russian government is using laws for their political goals - it's not surprising to see something like this happen.
Evan Gershkovich, a Wall Street Journal correspondent, was arrested in Russia on suspicion of espionage. He is the first American journalist to be detained on such allegations in the country since 1968.
@@jeraldkozey6095 no he wasn't.. he was there spying under the guise of a journalist...
***FREEDOM IS"NT FREE LET'S SAVE BURMA***
Russia refuses to resolve diplomatically the issue of the journalist’s release, as well as other hostages, we must take measures, namely, to strengthen the support of Ukraine, so that the Kremlin’s hostages are mastered as quickly as possible
@@evgeniybastrykov ***YOU"RE RIGHT BUDDY KEEP MOVING***
****PEACE OUT : AMEN****
Sadly, the current situation is such that whoever possesses the guns is the law, and there is no point in negotiating with terrorists. Only military aid can rescue the hostages.
@@evgeniybastrykov Julian assange? spanish journalist pablo gonzalez?
Regrettably, the prevailing situation is such that those with the weapons make the rules, rendering discussions with terrorists pointless, and solely military support can secure the liberation of all the hostages.
Maybe we can trade Tucker Carlson for Gershkovich
That would be good. Jokes aside I understand now why Ukraine doesn't want to negotiate with Putin. It's obvious that we can't believe someone who's lying on a daily basis and who doesn't care about human rights and international laws. Negotiations won't stop this war, our military aid will.
I couldn’t laugh at this situation because we have to remember that war isn’t ended.
@@melidareichert6720 I wasn't asking for laughter. Tucker Carlson has shown he is a paid reporter for RT. He appears on it, his show is broadcast on it. And nothing gets on RT without it representing the exact view of Vladimir Putin. It would be a win win to get rid of a Russian spy and get back an esteemed WSJ reporter.
Typo of
I want to punish people who are responsible for prisoning our citizen who is just a simple journalist.
Go to Russia and do just that 😊
Why are you in Russia, they must think it is sweet over there smh
Because he’s a journalist and possibly didn’t actually do what he’s accused of.
He’s also ethically Russian
@@jtgd we know without a doubt Julian Assange didn’t do what he’s been accused of, yet the US and UK are detaining him in solitary confinement - against human rights charters - for many years. All for exposing US war crimes. This has emboldened other countries to abuse journalists around the world.
The journalist also had relatives on the territory of Russia, besides there is no law forbidding them to staying on the territory of Russia, but Putin’s regime is afraid of journalists that the world would not know the truth about the Kremlin’s crimes, so during the writing of one of the articles the journalist was arrested
Рe lived and worked in Russia for 6 years. It's not like he just went to Russia this month. So I don't think he was expecting after all these 6 years that he will be arrested for nothing like that. Then again, it's Russia and the only ones controlling the law are the ones in power.
The presence of continual fighting and the absence of legitimate governance create an extremely dangerous living environment in these regions. Whether one chooses to assist civilians or not, the possibility of returning safely is very unlikely.
Wasnt he getting classifed files? Pretty sure thats espionage anywhere 😂
The US waging a proxy war against Russia, while simultaneously thinking it’s safe for a WSJ journalist to report on it.
Silly. The WSJ makes its own decisions.
“The US” didn’t send him.
He’s a journalist. They sometimes travel to dangerous regions to learn and spread information to the public
And simultaneously detaining Julian Assange for years for exposing US and allied war crimes. This is why there is no strong argument about what Russia is doing - US hypocrisy has eroded international trust and their word has become meaningless.
@@jtgd not only US didn't send him, but he was living there for 6 years already lol. So it's not a story about a crazy journalist going to Russia in order to get arrested, it's a story about a regular journalist who've lived in Russia for 6 years already, and who wanted to make an article on PMC Wagner. This is the only reason he was arrested.
Since Russia's incursion into Ukraine, the risk of being killed or held for ransom has become as high as it is in Somalia. Evan Gershkovich, a US journalist, was seized in Russia under suspicion of espionage, representing the initial case of an American journalist detained on such accusations since 1968.
Wsj drf cwa/itu
wsj should have disconnected the line when they called to tell they have caught a spy
What?
Russian propaganda exploits the history of espionage for profit, in fact, the journalist had nothing to do with espionage, he was just doing his job, after which he was arrested by the Russian police
Honestly it's so funny to see some people trying to justify this provocation. It's obvious he was not a spy, not even close to it. Regular journalist who was arrested only for his work. The same thing happened the last time in the 60s.
#ISTANDWITHJULIANASSANGE
Do you also report something about the secret documents?
The reporter did not have access to secret documents from Russia, the realtor was writing an article about the private military company Wagner, the owner of which is Prigozhin, he is a close friend of Putin, so the Russian security forces arrested the journalist

The restoration of law and order in Ukraine requires our continued support for their complete liberation from the Russians.
@@danieldach4697 glowie bot
He was not reporting about any secret documents, his goal was to reveal the true nature of PMC Wagner. And considering that this PMC is highly connected to russian government, it's clear why he was arrested. Russian politicians and oligarchs close to Putin are the ones who decide if you're guilty or not.

He was spying then.
If you believe the Russian government, which routinely lies about things for international benefit, then that’s your opinion.
Considering they lied about not wanting to attack Ukraine and called worries “western hysteria” before invading, and claimed a US drone magically caught up to a Russian jet and suddenly downed itself despite film showing otherwise, I’d seriously question and immediately doubt anything the Kremlin claims when it involves anything outside Russia.
Like really, Russia is notoriously corrupt. Wouldn’t be abnormal for them to arrest a journalist and trump up charges of espionage because he could have learned something they didn’t want public.
Doesn’t even have to be secrets. Could be information on how Russian citizens actually feel, or something parallel to the story where their government fed its troops dog food, rather than rations for fighting men.
Then why did Russia, after all this time, not show the international community the evidence of crimes committed by a journalist, maybe because he was not a spy?
@@evgeniybastrykov the USA did show proof of anything when they wrongfully detained people just for being Muslims during the Bush administration ?
He was not a spy, it's an unjust arrest and there's nothing about this journalist that would say that he's a spy, it's just laughable. Our government should demand the immediate release of Evan. Until then how about we provide more military aid for Ukraine, I bet russian terrorists will appreciate that.
@@evgeniybastrykov because in cases like this. If you say what you know the person was spying on you divulge informations. When a spy is arrested they don’t give informations about what was compromised by his activities until much later. As you can see with the illegals program in the US 2010. They don’t have to, it’s not an illegal arrest, he has been judged you just an idiot who thinks the US is the only state where people have rights (*Snowden laughs out loud*)
PLEASE PAPA PUTIN 🙏🙏🏿HELP US SHOW YOU ARE JUST AND ITS BIDEN THAT WONT WORK TOGETHER FREE OUR PEOPLE AND IF BIDEN WONT RELEASE YOUR PEOPLE WE WILL PEACE LONG LIVE KING PUTIN AND MOTHER RUSSIA 🇷🇺 SALUTE MY KING MY PRAYERS
