Hi there,

I believe that people who are concerned about the climate catastrophe, economic and racial justice and war and peace, are not a fringe minority, not even a silent majority, but the silenced majority—silenced by the corporate media. That's why we have to take the media back—especially now. But we can't do it without your support. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Julian Assange Questioned by Swedish Prosecutor in London Embassy

HeadlineNov 15, 2016

WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange was questioned Monday by a Swedish prosecutor at the Ecuadorean Embassy in London over allegations of sexual misconduct, although charges have never been filed. The questioning could last as many as three days. Assange’s Swedish lawyer, Per Samuelson, says he has so far been prohibited from attending the interviews. Assange has been confined to the Ecuadorean Embassy, fearing that if he were to attempt to leave, he would be arrested by British police and ultimately extradited to the United States, where it is believed there is a sealed indictment against him over WikiLeaks’s release of documents.
