Many Assange supporters demand the immediate release of Assange, among them about 130 artists, politicians and journalists from Germany. John Shipton, father of Julian Assange, is currently involved throughout Europe and talks to politicians and the press about his son's motives. "He is not concerned about the USA or Russia. Everything that Wikileaks has published is accessible like a library where you can look it up. And that gives us ordinary people the opportunity to do research and see where we stand in relation to our governments and other governments." Statement made by his father in an interview. Former Federal Minister of Justice Herta Däubler-Gmelin (SPD) has called on the German government to stand up for the controversial Wikileaks founder Julian Assange. Asylum for Julian Assange!!!... because humanity has a right to free information.
