Our People’s Community supports global democracy and freedom of expression, and our particular focus at the moment is the recent and troubling developments in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Julian is currently being held in solitary confinement, in appalling conditions, at the notorious Belmarsh Prison in London.
