Dave’s been in jail for 64 days. Due to immediate concerns for his safety, we can’t say more except to say his situation is grim. He has no access to natural light & restricted contact with his daughters. Help #FreeMcBride by donating to his fundraiser👇🏼🙏
McBride’s intention was not to leak to expose war crimes, it was to show how troops were being unnecessarily hounded by legal etc , ie ‘over-zealous investigations of special forces’
The ABC discovered war crimes in the leaks and went down that path, ignoring McBride's initial reason for leaking the information.
Now McBride is allegedly playing a hero being victimised for exposing the war crimes.
ABC article
Regardless of David's original intentions, he is being victimised for exposing war crimes. There is nothing just in his incarceration.
