Iran Press/ Europe: EU says 'An Independent free press is vital to any Democracy' I agree with you, but sadly, so much of Mainstream Media across Europe today is either owned or controlled by vested interest and that is a huge problem," said Mick Wallace while speaking at the European Parliament.
"Big money controls most of our media, our people who have an agenda in how they shape the news," Wallace added.
"EU also says a journalist shouldn't be punished for doing his work. I also agree 100% with that but Julian Assange is in prison for over four years. He was locked up in the Ecuadorian embassy for six-year before that and he is in prison because he spoke the truth. He exposed the US NATO War Crimes," EU MP highlighted.
"What have we done here to protect Julian Assange?" Asks the politician.
What have we done to see that he gets freedom? and that he is released from prison for telling the truth? I want to know what the EU commission is actually doing in this area because I think it's really important, noted the parliament member, adding, "It is the journalist story of a generation and we are doing very little by the looks of it."
