Last Update:
Alison Mason, a passionate and committed Assange activist from Australia, passed away a few days ago.
Unfortunately, I never got to know her and only found out about her now.
Very sad. She seems to have been a wonderfully inspiring person.
But I found an interview of her from a demonstration in front of Belmarsh prison.
And in this not-so-old video of her she still looked so strong and lively.
How incredible and sad that she has passed away.
But its a great message she left us, this inspiring woman (I would recommend watching at least the last 30 seconds):

Here is an obituary for her from another activist:

"I just heard that Alison Mason passed, back in her native Australia. 😭
She relentlessly organized and mobilized for the defense of #Assange. ✊
During lockdown and beyond, with a small group of people she kept mobilized and cared for, they took the streets every day, making Assange's persecution one of the topics always visible around the landmarks of London...
During some hearing she brought 200 ppl including a batucada in the street in front of the court....
I met Alison during the first Assange hearing in Feb. 2020, by 5 degrees celcius, in the mud, between the court touching the Belmarsh prison and a highway-like road. She just came from Australia with no return ticket, leaving her activism against some mega-coal-mine there, because "until J is free, all other topics are at stake, because if we jail journalists we will never win on anything anymore" ....
She was a total activist. in front of the dead-cold-muddy hellhole for a few days, she had put up -with her own resources- a tent, an electric generator, warm beverages and cakes. One of the first things she said to me was to apologize that the banana cake didn't have time to raise! it was still one of the best things i ate within a 3km radius of that dead zone....
She was a true, honest, intense, courageous, dedicated human being.
I feel honoured i have met her.
Rest in Power, dear Ali! <3 ✊ 💗 💥"
