Today, the 22nd of August 2024, marks 100 days since army lawyer David McBride was imprisoned in Canberra for exposing war crimes committed by Australian forces in Afghanistan.

David stood up for truth and integrity, yet now he endures death threats and solitary confinement, while those responsible remain free.

This is not how we should treat our whistleblowers in Australia! ⚖️

  • Contact Mark Dreyfus or your local MP today to express your support for David.

  • Create and share a social media post or a short video using the hashtag #SpeakUp4McBride to spread the word.

  • Donate to support David’s legal appeal to help get him out of jail: https://chuffed.org/project/davidmcbride

  • Hang the provided poster in a high-visibility location, take a photo, and share it online to encourage others to join the movement.
