Urgent: Call on the UK not to extradite Julian Assange

samedi 18 juillet 2020 à 02:00

US citizens: Join Reporters Without Borders in calling on the UK not to extradite Julian Assange.

I could sign this, and I can post this, because I discovered recently that Reporters Without Borders changed its web site and it now works to sign that organization's petitions without running nonfree JavaScript code. I thank Reporters Without Borders for making this work.

There are several other organizations whose causes I support (at least usually), but whose petitions I cannot sign because they require nonfree JavaScript code: afsc.org, amazonwatch.org, change.org, coworker.org, defenders.org, democracyforamerica.com, earthjustice.org, freepress.net, moveon.org, pen.org, populationconnectionaction.org, publiccitizen.org, ran.org, splcenter.org, sumofus.org.

In addition, freedomunited.org appears to succeed but sends no confirmation, so I think it ignores signatures.

If you can convince any of those organizations to fix their sites so people can sign without running Javascript code, I would appreciate it, and it would help the free software cause too.

Or, alternatively, if you can publish a free Firefox extension that substitutes for the nonfree Javascript code which LibreJS blocks, that too would make signing possible.
