UMairead Maguire ucele i-Ofisi Yasekhaya yase-UK imvume yokutyelela umhlobo wakhe uJulian Assange onyulo nyaka unyule umvuzo weNobel Peace Prize.
"Ndifuna ukutyelela uJulian ukuze ndibone ukuba ufumana unyango kwaye ndimazise ukuba baninzi abantu kwihlabathi liphela abamthandayo nabanombulelo ngenkalipho yakhe yokuzama ukuphelisa iimfazwe nokuphelisa ukubandezeleka kwabanye," uMaguire utshilo.
“NgoLwesine umhla we-11 ku-Epreli, luza kungena embalini njengosuku olumnyama kumalungelo oluntu, xa uJulian Assange, indoda ekhaliphileyo nelungileyo, wabanjwa, ngamaPolisa aseBritane, asuswa ngenkani ngaphandle kwesilumkiso kwangaphambili, ngendlela efanelekileyo ulwaphulo-mthetho lwemfazwe, ovela kwiNdlu yoZakuzo yase-Ecuador, kwaye waqokelelwa kwiVan yamaPolisa, ”utshilo uMaguire.
"Lixesha elibuhlungu xa urhulumente wase-UK ngokuyalelwa nguRhulumente wase-United States, wabamba uJulian Assange, uphawu lweNkululeko yeNtetho njengomshicileli we-Wikileaks, kunye neenkokheli zehlabathi kunye nemithombo yeendaba ephambili bahlala bethe cwaka kwinto yokuba uyindoda emsulwa de abe ufunyenwe enetyala, ngelixa i-UN Group esebenza ngokuGcinwa ngokuNgenasizathu ichaza ukuba umsulwa.
“Isigqibo sikaMongameli uLenin Moreno wase-Ecuador othe phantsi kwengcinezelo yezemali evela e-US wayirhoxisa indawo yakhe yokubalekela kumsunguli we-Wikileaks, ungomnye umzekelo wolawulo lwemali elizweni lonke e-United States, unyanzelisa amanye amazwe ukuba enze amabhidi awo okanye ajongane nezemali mhlawumbi nobundlobongela. Iziphumo zokungathobeli igunya leSuper Power lehlabathi, elilahlekileyo ngelishwa. UJulian Assange uthathe indawo yokukhosela kwiNdlu yoZakuzo yase-Ecuador kwiminyaka esixhenxe eyadlulayo kuba wayebone ukuba i-US iyakufuna ukuba baphinde bajongane neGrand Jury e-US ngenxa yokubulawa kwabantu abaninzi, kungengenxa yakhe, kodwa yimikhosi yase-US kunye ne-NATO, kwaye ifihliwe eluntwini.
Ngelishwa, yinkolelo yam ukuba uJulian Assange akazukulibona ityala elifanelekileyo. Njengoko sibonile kule minyaka isixhenxe idlulileyo, amaxesha ngamaxesha, amazwe aseYurophu kunye nabanye abaninzi, abanayo intando yezopolitiko okanye ukumela into abayaziyo ukuba ilungile, kwaye baya kuthi bangene kwi-Unites States . Sijonge i-Chelsea Manning ibuyiselwa entolongweni kwaye ivalelwe yodwa, ke akufuneki sibe ngabangenangqondo ekucingeni kwethu: ngokuqinisekileyo, eli likamva likaJulian Assange.
“Ndindwendwele uJulian amatyeli amabini kwiNdlu yoZakuzo yase-Ecuador kwaye ndachukumiseka yile ndoda ikhaliphileyo kwaye ikrelekrele. Utyelelo lokuqala yayikukubuya kwam eKabul, apho amakhwenkwe akwishumi elivisayo aseAfghan, anyanzelisa ukubhala ileta ngesicelo endisiphetheyo ndisisa kuJulian Assange, ukumbulela, ngokupapasha iWikileaks, inyani ngemfazwe eAfghanistan kunye nokunceda bayeke ilizwe labo ukuba liqhushumbe ngeenqwelomoya kunye neenqwelomoya. Bonke babenombali wabantakwabo okanye abahlobo ababulawa ziidrones ngelixa babeqokelela iinkuni ebusika ezintabeni.
Ndityumbe uJulian Assange nge-8 kaJanuwari 2019 kwi-Nobel Peace Prize. Ndikhuphe uxwebhu losasazo ndinethemba lokunika ingqalelo ukutyunjwa kwakhe, ebibonakala ngathi ayihoywanga ngokubanzi, ngamajelo eendaba aseNtshona. Ngezenzo zikaJulian zesibindi kunye nabanye abanjengaye, sasizibona kakuhle inkohlakalo yemfazwe. Ukukhutshwa kweefayile kuzise eminyangweni yethu inkohlakalo eyenziwa ngoorhulumente bethu ngamajelo eendaba. Kuyinkolelo yam eyomeleleyo ukuba le yeyona nto iphambili kumzabalazo kwaye kulihlazo kum ukuhlala kwindawo apho abantu abanjengoJulian Assange, u-Edward Snowden, u-Chelsea Manning naye nabani na ozimisele ukuvula amehlo ethu kwimfazwe, kusenokwenzeka ukuba uzingelwe okwezilwanyana ngoorhulumente, wohlwaywe kwaye uthuliswe.
“Ke ngoko, ndiyakholelwa ukuba urhulumente wase-Bhritane kufuneka akuchase ukuthunyelwa kuka-Assange nanjengoko ebeka umzekelo oyingozi kwiintatheli, kubetha impempe kunye neminye imithombo yenyani i-US enokunqwenela ukuyinyanzela kwixesha elizayo. Le ndoda ihlawula ixabiso eliphezulu ukuphelisa imfazwe ngoxolo nokungabi nabundlobongela kwaye sonke kufuneka siyikhumbule loo nto. ”
