| Your letter about the plight of Alfie Meadows and Zak King (11 February) makes the point that justice delayed is justice denied. The same applies to the thousand people whose statements to the high court claim that UK forces in Iraq murdered, tortured and sexually abused Iraqis "in an orgy of sadism, outlawed interrogation methods and unlawful killings" between 2003 and 2008 (MoD orders fresh Iraq torture investigations, 31 January). They are still awaiting justice. Thanks to WikiLeaks, we know about these and many other war crimes. And Bradley Manning, the gay US soldier, continues to be persecuted, charged with the crime of helping hundreds of thousands of files documenting these crimes to be available to us. On 23 February he will have spent 1,000 days in prison without trial and we will protest this injustice all over the world. In London we'll be meeting outside the US embassy.

Her recent volte-face on Julian Assange and participation in the irrelevant blather about his character in the New Statesman have seriously questioned her reputation for robust analysis. The liberal press motivation to undermine Assange is obvious. In revealing the crimes of the powerful he exposed what our "free press" should have been doing. | • Jemima Khan has rightly won many admirers for her tenacity and courage in challenging power.
