Change UK: Former foreign minister of Australia speaks out for Julian Archived Message Posted by scrabb on November 20, 2019, 8:40 pm Nils Melzer, UN special rapporteur on torture and former foreign minister speak out in Change UK petition. It makes a welcome change that a former government official of Australia is prepared to stand up and be counted. Now what about the present government ministers doing the same?

One, he is an Australian and Australian government should intervene for his defense and intervene strongly now to see that his prison condition are alleviated and I appeal to my British friends, really you can do better than this, if British justice means something it means getting this bloke out of maximum security and seeing that he’s got full access to his lawyers and to his papers. The second point that is important from Australian perspective is that he exposed things that deserved to be exposed and reinforced our right to know. In that spirit, we should intervene strongly and I hope Australia does pretty soon to see that his extradition is quietly dropped but in the meantime his prison conditions are rendered humane.
