My husband, Julian Assange, pictured below right, has been imprisoned in HMP Belmarsh in Thamesmead since 2019 because, as the publisher of WikiLeaks, he exposed the abuses of the war on terror which the United States wanted to remain concealed. The US has brought charges against Julian that carry 175 years in prison. As Home Secretary, Priti Patel failed to block Julian's extradition. An upcoming High Court hearing will decide whether Britain allows the most consequential attack on press freedom of our age to proceed.
Our children want to break Julian out of prison. It has been four years already. Four-and-a-half-year-old Max thinks up ways of doing it. Gabriel, who is five, recently started a new calendar.
It is not a countdown to Julian's release but a count up, because there is no end date. Gabriel adds more boxes to tick every day.
