Julian Assange
Julian Assange is the founder and face of WikiLeaks, a whistleblower website with the stated purpose of creating open governments. He has published material about Guantanamo Bay procedures as well as the Iraq War Logs, Afghan War Diary and US Embassy Cables, much of which was classified material. Assange received the Amnesty International Media Award in 2009 for publishing material about extrajudicial killings in Kenya, and was the Readers' Choice for Time Magazine's 2010 Person of the Year.

Sir or Madam,
Assange is once again a hot international political issue. What is the Cambridge Unions of Student's position on upholding his rights?
I'm sure that many Cambridge students have had consensual unprotected sex and not had it classified as rape. But it appears that the colonial boy is different.
Seriously, are you going to support him LOUDLY. Both Oxford and Cambridge are abysmally silent on the issue.
