On Wednesday, Secretary of State Antony Blinken participated in a moderated conversation on the state of press freedom worldwide with Washington Post columnist David Ignatius.
During the event, members of the feminist grassroots organization CODEPINK, interrupted Blinken as he talked about press freedom.
“Excuse us, we can’t use this day without calling for the freedom of Julian Assange,” said one of the protesters.
