Julian Assange is being prosecuted for publishing sources’ names and not his political opinions, lawyers representing the United States said as Assange fights his extradition from Britain. U.S. prosecutors argue that the leaks endangered the lives of their agents and that there is no excuse for Assange’s actions. Supporters of Assange, however, view him as a journalist and hero persecuted for exposing U.S. misconduct. The case is seen as being politically motivated, with Assange targeted for revealing state-level crimes. U.S. lawyers emphasized that the prosecution is based on evidence and the rule of law, highlighting Assange’s indiscriminate publication of source names. Assange’s legal battles began in 2010, leading to years in asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. If convicted, he faces a possible lengthy sentence in the U.S. His supporters, including Amnesty International and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, continue to advocate for his return. WikiLeaks’ controversial releases have sparked global debate about transparency, privacy, and journalism.
