By Peter Walker for The Independent - Julian Assange says he is "entirely innocent" of rape in his testimony to Swedish prosecutors, which he has published online. In a 19-page statement he gave in a landmark interview to Swedish investigators, the WikiLeaks editor-in-chief also said he had been subjected to "cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment". The 45-year-old computer programmer has been holed up in the Ecuadorian embassy in London for four years to avoid arrest. "I want people to know the truth about how abusive this process has been," said the Australian journalist.

‘He Will Fight To The Last Breath’: Julian Assange’s Mother Speaks Out

December 10, 2016 Kerrie Armstrong, www.sbs.com.au Educate! Julian Assange, Whistleblowers

By Kerrie Armstrong for SBS - Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's mother Christine has told SBS News she feels "angry" but she's still fighting six years after her son was arrested in relation to sexual assault allegations. Assange handed himself in to police in London on December 2010 and was released on bail. However, in June 2012 he broke his bail and sought asylum in the Ecuadorean embassy in London over fears he would be extradited to the US to face possible espionage charges. Since then police have kept the embassy surrounded, preventing him from leaving to Ecuador.

Julian Assange Faces Swedish Prosecutor In London Over Rape Accusation

November 20, 2016 Esther Addley, www.theguardian.com Resist! Eucuador, Julian Assange, Sweden, Wikileaks

By Esther Addley and David Crouch for the Guardian. A senior Swedish prosecutor has begun interviewing Julian Assange at Ecuador’s embassy in London, six years after a woman in Stockholm accused the WikiLeaks of rape. Ingrid Isgren, Sweden’s deputy chief prosecutor, arrived at 9.30am on Monday at the central London embassy where Assange has been confined since June 2012. Three days have been set aside for the interview, which is being conducted by an Ecuadorian prosecutor, following a list of questions submitted earlier this year by the Swedish prosecution authority. Isgren is allowed to ask Assange to clarify his answers, but not to put additional questions, and will receive a written transcript of the exchanges. Assange’s Swedish lawyer, Per Samuelson, said he had been barred from the interview. “Ecuador refuses to let me in and insists that the questioning will continue without my presence, against my client’s wishes to have me there,” he told Reuters. Samuelson said he still hoped to be admitted if the interview continued, “but a good chunk of questioning has already taken place, as far as I understand”. In a statement released on Monday night, WikiLeaks said there had been “numerous irregularities” in the Swedish investigation.

WikiLeaks Supporters Launch Plan To Restore Assange’s Internet Connection

October 26, 2016 Whitney Webb, www.trueactivist.com Resist! Julian Assange, Wikileaks

By Whitney Webb for True Activist - Things haven’t been going quite as planned for WikiLeaks’ Editor-In-Chief Julian Assange. Though WikiLeaks has continued its daily releases of John Podesta’s emails, Assange lost his connection to the outside world when Ecuador caved to US pressure and cut off his access. Assange has been arbitrarily detained for over four years in Ecuador’s London Embassy after the country offered him asylum in 2012.

WikiLeaks: Assange’s Internet ‘Severed’ By State Actor

October 18, 2016 Staff, www.aljazeera.com Educate! Julian Assange, Wikileaks

By Staff of Aljazeera - WikiLeaks says that founder Julian Assange's internet access has been cut by an unidentified state actor. The whistle-blowing organisation said on Twitter on Monday that they have activated their "contingency plans" after its co-founder's internet service was intentionally cut off. The internet is one of the few available means through which Assange can maintain contact with the outside world.

New York Times Launches McCarthyite Witch-Hunt Against Julian Assange

September 3, 2016 Bill Van Auken, www.wsws.org Educate! Julian Assange, New York Times (NYT)

By Bill Van Auken for WSWS - The New York Times Thursday published an article entitled “How Russia Often Benefits When Julian Assange Reveals the West’s Secrets.” The 5,000-word piece, covering three columns of the top half of its front page, boasts three bylines. Presented as a major investigative news article, it is a piece of pro-government propaganda, whose style and outright character assassination against the WikiLeaks founder seems to have been cribbed from the vilest McCarthyite smear jobs of the 1950s.

NPR Can’t Accept For Julian Assange To Protect His Sources

August 20, 2016 Naomi LaChance, www.theintercept.com Resist! Journalism, Julian Assange

By Naomi LaChance for The Intercept - IN A TEN-MINUTE interview aired Wednesday morning, NPR’s David Greene asked Wikileaks founder Julian Assange five times to reveal the sources of the leaked information he has published on the internet. A major tenet of American journalism is that reporters protect their sources. Wikileaks is certainly not a traditional news organization, but Greene’s persistent attempts to get Assange to violate confidentiality was alarming, especially considering that there has been no challenge to the authenticity of the material in question.

Poitras Film: Julian Assange’s Bid To Escape Extradition

May 22, 2016 Henry Barnes, www.theguardian.com Educate! Julian Assange, Laura Poitras, Whistleblowers, Wikileaks

By Henry Barnes for the Guardian. Poitras presents her insider’s account of the WikiLeaks saga in Risk, a documentary that premiered this week at the Cannes film festival. Shot before, during and after the Snowden revelations, it is a partial reveal of the reveal. It brings the viewer into the room with the team of journalists, activists and hackers who helped – based on the leaks by Chelsea Manning and with the assistance of the Guardian – to expose exactly how scrutinised we are by the state. “He has a pretty extraordinary ability to withstand stress,” says Poitras. “Not that many people could withstand the pressure that he’s living under. He has to be able to hold it together, and he manages to.”

New Mass Movement Aims To Liberate Julian Assange: #JA4Me

March 28, 2016 Endarken, www.mintpressnews.com Resist! Julian Assange

By Endarken for Mint Press News - It may have been the clink of champagne glasses at last week’s Logan Center for Investigative Journalism Symposium in Berlin that finally drove me over the edge. The toast came from Julian Assange’s friends and fellow cypherpunks. Some of the most brilliant minds in the world, whose contributions and support of him are beyond question. As the creme de la creme of privacy activism and technology raised their glasses to Julian, they repeated the oft-heard and wistful mantra of “we hope that one day you will be here with us in person”.

What Saudi Leaks Tell Us: An Interview With Julian Assange

March 24, 2016 Julian Assange, www.newint.org Educate! Julian Assange, Saudi Arabia

By Julian Assange for New Internationalist - Since June 2015 WikiLeaks has been releasing details of leaked cables and other documents that come from within the Saudi Foreign Office. They provide an insight into the internal workings of the secretive regime, its fears, and its strategies for spreading its influence abroad. More than 230,000 leaked Saudi documents have been published by WikiLeaks; a batch of 60,000 more cables and 50,000 pager messages was released last November.

Time To End Illegal Detention Of Journalist Julian Assange

February 12, 2016 Kevin Zeese, www.PopularResistance.org Resist! Julian Assange, United Nations, Wikileaks

By Kevin Zeese for Popular Resistance. On February 5, the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention - the international tribunal that determines whether governments are complying with their human rights obligations – ruled that Assange has been detained unlawfully by Britain and Sweden. The UN experts “called on the Swedish and British authorities to end Mr. Assange’s deprivation of liberty, respect his physical integrity and freedom of movement, and afford him the right to compensation.” The US through its allies may be able to hold Julian Assange even though it violates international law, but they will never be able to protect their secrets from anonymous disclosures. The illegal detention of Assange will have the opposite effect that the US and its allies want – it will not stop leaks; it will encourage them. The technology for anonymous leaks is improving. People in government will be even more justified to leak the truth as they realize they are working for a government that violates the law.

UN Panel To UK & Sweden: End Julian Assange’s ‘Deprivation Of Liberty’

February 6, 2016 Owen Bowcott and David Crouch, www.theguardian.com Resist! Europe, Julian Assange, United Nations, Wikileaks

By Owen Bowcott and David Crouch for The Guardian - The WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been arbitrarily detained by the UK and Sweden for more than five years and should be released immediately with compensation, according to a United Nations report. As anticipated, the finding by the Geneva-based UN working group on arbitrary detention criticises legal action against Assange by both European governments and blames them for preventing him from leaving the Ecuadorian embassy in Knightsbridge, central London.

Assange Finds Surprising Ally – But It May Not Be Enough

February 5, 2016 Gregory Katz and Jan M. Olsen, www.heraldextra.com Resist! Julian Assange, United Nations

By Gregory Katz and Jan M. Olsen for Daily Herald - LONDON (AP) — WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has found a surprising ally — a little known United Nations panel that has decided he has been unfairly detained in Britain while seeking to avoid extradition to Sweden to answer allegations of sexual misconduct. But it's not clear if the findings of the five members of the U.N. Working Group on Arbitrary Detention, to be officially announced in Geneva Friday, will lead to a change in Assange's legal status.

Anti-War Activist Ciaron O’Reilly: Conventional Protests Are ‘A Dead End’

January 12, 2016 Joshua Robertson, www.theguardian.com Resist! Anti-war Movement, Chelsea Manning, Ed Snowden, Julian Assange, Wars and Militarism

By Joshua Robertson for The Guardian - A quarter of a century has passed since Ciaron O’Reilly, with a sledgehammer and a bottle of his own blood, took his first tilt at the US war machine. The Brisbane-born man served what is believed to be the longest jail stint for a civilian protester on US soil during the first Gulf war, over a New Year’s Day sortie by a band of Catholic peace activists into Griffiss air force base in New York in 1991. He poured blood on a runway from a bottle bearing pictures of Iraqi children and smashed up the tarmac till his hands were blistered, while his cohorts did the same to the engine of a B-52 bomber on standby for raids in the Gulf. O’Reilly served 13 months in jail, which nearly broke him at first.

Exposed By Wikileaks: US Empire According To Itself

By Robert J. Burrowes for Popular Resistance. In the book 'The Wikileaks Files: The World According to US Empire' which has just been published, we are taken on a journey to understand just how the world works if we read the 'top secret' correspondence of those who regard themselves as our masters. Following a thoughtful contextual introduction by Julian Assange, our journey is guided by eighteen first-rate scholars who carefully explain the significance of a range of Wikileaks-released documents in relation to the region of the world in which they specialize. Overall, the authors provide an extremely coherent account of the way in which the US empire functions.
