stefania maurizi1. last Friday, #StellaAssange, Pulitzer Prize winner, #EwenMacAskill and I discussed the #JA and #WikiLeaks case and my book #SecretPower.
#StellaAssange told us a story about the #JA whom I have known for over a decade
(Here is the video):

2. Stella Assange told us that #JA had put many many book in his 2 m x 3 m at the Britain's toughest prison, #Belmarsh, but prison authorities objected that he could not have more than 25 books in his cell. #JA asked to see the prison's rules about books. This is #JA

3. after checking the prison's rules about books,#JA learned that he could keep more than 25 books in his cell, provided he removed some other objects. He did remove his bed. Do you find this weird and a paradox? This is #JA

4. so Stella told us that, after removing the bed from his cell, now #JA sleeps in a yoga mat. Definitely NOT comfortable, he says, but his bed wasn't comfortable anyway, and now at least he sleeps with many friends: books

5. this is the power of #books.
And this is the cruelty of the #US & #UK authorities, who are killing #JA slowly.
They haven't sent killers,like dictators do,executing him as #Politkovskaja,they're acting under an appearance of legality:
the judicial system
