John Pilger is absolutely right to call on Jeremy Corbyn to visit Julian Assange in prison and demand that Amnesty International recognise Assange and Chelsea Manning as prisoners of conscience.
Ian Lavery and Richard Burgon should do likewise, and then, with Corbyn, board a plane to Tehran, with their smartphones in their hands. Immediately before landing, they should tweet that they would not be leaving without Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe.
The cameras would be waiting, and Nazanin could be brought home. Who could then deny Lavery and Burgon the Leadership and Deputy Leadership of the Labour Party?
Iran should of course make the release of Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, as required by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, conditional upon the release of Julian Assange, as required by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention. After that, then Britain would have no quarrel with Iran.
If I were in Parliament, then this would already have happened. I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.

Look at the people who get into Parliament and you don't, you'll know that Pidcock is already working on the Labour nomination here next time. She's already had one rally.
ReplyDeleteIf you could call it that. Her usual out-of-town fan club. Is she going to do this? Is she going to go to Tehran and bring Nazanin home? After all, she no longer has anything else to do.
DeleteTulsi Gabbard should visit Assange in prison. She was bold enough to go to Syria. It would be great for her to be able to come back and tell people her firsthand experience with how poorly he was being treated.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very good idea.
