Roger Waters — Wish You Were Here

Yesterday, the UK Supreme Court rejected Julian Assange’s appeal against his extradition to the United States. At the Belmarsh Tribunal in New York City on 25 February 2022, Roger Waters played a stunning rendition of Wish You Were Here for Assange. Watch the Belmarsh Tribunal here: ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ABOUT THE BELMARSH TRIBUNAL Inspired by the Russell-Sartre Tribunals of the late 1960s, which put the US government on trial for its war crimes in Vietnam, the Belmarsh Tribunal will expose the crimes of the so-called War on Terror 20 years after the first prisoners were brought to Guantánamo Bay — and call for Assange’s freedom. The event — convened in partnership with @DiEM25, the Courage Foundation, @The People’s Forum NYC, DSA International Committee, @The Intercept, @Peoples Dispatch and the International People’s Assembly — was chaired by philosopher Srećko Horvat and civil rights attorney Margaret Kunstler.
