Julian Assanges Vater: „Schweigen bedeutet Zustimmung“
STANDARD: Sie touren gerade durch Europa, treffen Politiker. Was erwarten Sie sich?
Shipton: Ich werde für Julian eintreten und klarmachen, dass es – ich weiß, das ist eine abgedroschene Phrase – einen historischen Wandel in Europa gibt, der Julian und die freie Meinungsäußerung und freien Austausch in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft unterstützt.
