Letters to the Editor: No criticism of those who remain silent on Assange

Mick Clifford’s critique of those vocal supporters of Assange is in stark contrast to how little he had to say on those who have remained silent. File photo

It’s welcome that Mick Clifford speaks out on the case of Julian Assange and extradition to the US — ‘freedom of the press in grave danger’ (Irish Examiner, June 26).

However, it’s odd that in lamenting the silence on the issue in Ireland and internationally that he chose to throw some unnecessary political jibes at those who have been most vocal on the Assange case while also somewhat disingenuously questioning their motivation.
