If you've been on the ground in the United Kingdom to defend Julian Assange, press freedom or perhaps also if you protested against wars in general, then you know Eric Levy. He's now 94 years old and has been protesting every single week. He's handed out thousands of flyers, you'd see him with a billboard, did interviews and pretty much everything else he could do to defend Julian's rights and yours.
I met him in London in 2020 and spent quite some time with him discussing Julian's situation, but mostly the uneducated youth.
It's not even that long ago that he was carried away by a group of cops because he was protesting again (picture above). But now he's in the hospital and his health is in decline, according to Julian Assange's wife Stella.

She asked on Twitter to send him your warm thoughts in reply to the above post, so that the messages can be read to him in the hospital/hospice.
Eric just celebrated his 94th birthday at Piccadilly in February:
Please give him a shout out on social media, because this hero deserves all of our respect. Here is something you might not know about Eric. He went to Iraq in 2003 as a Human Shield to try & stop the illegal war & stayed in a Baghdad power station throughout Shock & Awe. That's the kind of guy we are talking about.
