Stella Assange Press Conference: “It took millions of people, it took people working behind the scenes, people protesting on the streets – for days and weeks and months and years, and we achieved it.”

Stella Assange: "I hope journalists and editors and publishers everywhere realise the danger of the US case against Julian that criminalises, that has secured a conviction for, newsgathering and publishing information that was true, that the public deserved to know.

That precedent now can and will be used in the future against the rest of the press. So it is in the interest of all of the press to seek for this current state of affairs to change through reform of the Espionage Act.

Through increased press protections, and yes, eventually when the time comes - not today - a pardon."

"Julian has to recover - that’s the priority. Julian will always defend human rights. He will always defend victims. He’s always done that. And that’s just part of who he is. He’s deeply principled. And he remains deeply principled. And unafraid." -

Rare press statement by Julian Assange’s UK solicitor Gareth Peirce: "The Assange case “has exposed major fault lines —not just within the US/UK extradition treaty itself, but in respect of human rights protections in both countries previously thought to be absolute”
