The conspicuous absence of Assange is indeed very bad for the purported campaign for the release of journalists "in other countries". Such other countries can now rightfully point to the hypocrisy of this campaign.

I think demanding too much moral purity from campaigners is damaging. The perfect is very much the enemy of the good.
