Izizathu Eziyisithupha UJulian Assange Kufanele Abongwe, Hhayi Ukujeziswa

By World BEYOND War, Ngo-September 18, i-2020

1. Umzamo wokukhipha nokushushisa uJulian Assange ngobuntatheli usongela ubuntatheli besikhathi esizayo obuphonsela inselelo amandla nodlame, kepha ukuvikela umkhuba wabezindaba wokusabalalisa impi. Ngenkathi i- New York Times uhlomule ngomsebenzi ka-Assange, ukubika kwawo kuphela ekulalelweni kwakhe kwamanje ngu esihlokweni mayelana nezinkinga zobuchwepheshe ezinkambisweni zasenkantolo - ukugwema ngokuphelele okuqukethwe yilezo zinkantolo, ngisho nokusikisela ngamanga ukuthi okuqukethwe bekungazwakali futhi kungenakutholakala ngenye indlela. Ukuthula kwezinkampani zezindaba zase-US kuthulisa izindlebe. Akukhona nje kuphela ukuthi imizamo kaMongameli uDonald Trump yokubopha u-Assange (noma, njengoba ayekhulume esidlangalaleni phambilini, ambulale) iphikisana nemibono yabezindaba ngeRussia, futhi iphikisana nokuzenzisa okuyisisekelo mayelana nenhlonipho yase-US yenkululeko yabezindaba, kepha futhi kusebenza umsebenzi obalulekile okusobala ukuthi unesithakazelo emithonjeni yezindaba ekhuthaza izimpi. Kujezisa umuntu owaba nesibindi sokudalula ubudlova, ubuhlanga, nobugebengu bezimpi zase-US.

2. Ividiyo yeCollateral Murder kanye nezingodo zempi yase-Iraq nase-Afghanistan ziqophe obunye bobugebengu obukhulu kakhulu emashumini eminyaka amuva nje. Ngisho nokuvezwa kwezenzo ezimbi zeqembu lezombusazwe lase-US kwakuyinkonzo yomphakathi, hhayi ubugebengu - impela akulona icala "lokuvukela umbuso" i-United States yisakhamuzi esingeyena i-US, umqondo wokuvukela umbuso ongenza umhlaba wonke ube ngaphansi ukubizelwa kombuso - futhi hhayi ubugebengu "bobunhloli" okumele benziwe egameni likahulumeni, hhayi ngenxa yomphakathi. Ukube izinkantolo zase-US bezizoshushisa amacala angempela adalulwe nguJulian Assange nozakwabo kanye nemithombo yakhe, bebengaba nesikhathi esincane sokushushisa ubuntatheli.

3. Umbono wokuthi ukushicilelwa kwemibhalo kahulumeni kuyinto engeyona eyezobuntatheli, ukuthi ubuntatheli bangempela budinga ukufihla imibhalo kahulumeni ngenkathi ibachazela umphakathi, kuyindlela yokudukisa umphakathi. Izimangalo zokuthi u-Assange usize umthombo ekutholeni imibhalo ngobugebengu (uma ngokuziphatha nangokwezentando yeningi) abanabo ubufakazi futhi babonakala njengesikrini sokubhema sokushushisa imikhuba eyisisekelo yobuntatheli. Okufanayo kuya ngezimangalo zokuthi ubuntatheli buka-Assange bulimaze abantu noma baba sengcupheni yokulimaza abantu. Ukudalula impi kuphambene kakhulu nokulimaza abantu. U-Assange ubambe amadokhumenti futhi wabuza uhulumeni wase-US ukuthi yini okufanele ayenze kabusha ngaphambi kokushicilela. Lowo hulumeni ukhethe ukungalungisi lutho, futhi manje usola u-Assange - ngaphandle kobufakazi - ngenani elincane lokufa ezimpini ezibulale inani elikhulu labantu. Sizwile ubufakazi kuleli sonto ukuthi abaphathi bakaTrump banikeze u-Assange ushwele uma ezodalula umthombo. Icala lokwenqaba ukudalula umthombo yisenzo sobuntatheli.

4. Sekuyiminyaka i-United Kingdom igcina sengathi ifuna u-Assange ngezinsolo zobugebengu ezivela eSweden. Umqondo wokuthi i-United States ifuna ukushushisa isenzo sokubika ngezimpi zayo yahlekwa usulu njengenganekwane eyindida. Ukuze umphakathi womhlaba wonke ukwamukele lolu laka kungaba yinto ebucayi ekucindezeleni inkululeko emhlabeni jikelele nasekuzimeleni kwanoma yiliphi izwe elingaphansi kwezimfuno ze-US. Lezo zidingo zivame ukuba, okokuqala nokuphambili, ukuthenga izikhali eziningi, futhi, okwesibili, ukubamba iqhaza ekusetshenzisweni kwalezo zikhali.

5. I-United Kingdom, noma ingaphandle kwe-European Union, inemithetho namazinga. Isivumelwano sokukhishwa kwamanye amazwe esinaso ne-United States siyakwenqabela ukukhishwa kwabantu ngenhloso yezombusazwe. Izwe laseMelika lizojezisa u-Assange ngesihluku ngaphambi kokuqulwa kwecala futhi ngemuva kwanoma yiliphi icala. Isiphakamiso sokumhlukanisela esitokisini ejele laseColorado sizofana nokuqhubeka nokuhlukunyezwa umlamuli okhethekile we-UN ngokuhlukumeza uNils Melzer athi u-Assange ubesevele enziwe iminyaka eminingi. Icala "lobunhloli" lingaphika u-Assange ilungelo lokubeka noma yiliphi icala ekuziphenduleni kwakhe elikhuluma ngezizathu zakhe. Ukuqulwa kwecala okulungile nakho kungeke kwenzeke ezweni lapho osopolitiki abaphezulu begwebe u-Assange kwabezindaba iminyaka eminingi. UNobhala Wombuso uMike Pompeo ubize iWikileaks "ngomsebenzi wezobunhloli ongekho kuhulumeni." Oqokelwe ukungenela ukhetho lukaMengameli uJoe Biden ubize u-Assange "ngobushokobezi obusezingeni eliphezulu."

6. Inqubo yezomthetho kuze kube manje ayikaze ibe semthethweni. I-United States yephule ilungelo lika-Assange lokuba yimfihlo kwamakhasimende-abameli. Ngonyaka odlule e-Embassy yase-Ecuador, usonkontileka wahlola i-Assange amahora angama-24 ngosuku, izinsuku eziyisikhombisa ngesonto, kufaka phakathi nangemihlangano yakhe yangasese nabameli bakhe. U-Assange unqatshelwe amandla okulungiselela kahle ukulalelwa kwamanje. Inkantolo ikhombise ukuchema ngokweqile ivuna ukushushiswa. Uma abezindaba bezinkampani bebika imininingwane yalolu daba, kungekudala bazozithola bephathwa ngendlela enobutha yilabo abaphethe; bazozithola besohlangothini lwezintatheli ezibucayi; bazozithola besohlangothini lukaJulian Assange.
