The Wikileaks revelations shocked the world, and co-founder Julian Assange shot to fame. WikiLeaks exposed U.S. army war crimes, the secret emails of top international politicians and controversial secret service surveillance methods.
Assange’s relentless pursuit of total transparency has changed the face of journalism and given rise to much imitation, as well as fierce criticism.
But it seems the spell has broken. After spending seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, Julian Assange is now in a cell at Belmarsh, a maximum-security prison in London. In many ways, he is being treated as a terrorist. His health has suffered. The UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Nils Melzer has even referred to a “murderous system” designed to make an example of Assange.
Assange took on a very powerful opponent. The U.S.A. is pressing charges for obtaining and disclosing classified information. Now, the extradition hearing is about to begin in London. If Assange is extradited from England to the U.S.A., he faces up to 175 years in jail for espionage. Experts are expecting one of the most significant trials of its kind to date.
“WikiLeaks – Public Enemy Julian Assange” is a detailed depiction of the rise and fall of Julian Assange. The film reveals some personal glimpses into different aspects of the story: meetings with Assange’s worried father, talks with high-ranking U.S. officials, an exclusive interview with whistleblower Edward Snowden. And every time the key question re-emerges: Is Julian Assange a journalist or a spy?

It is obvious that there is no justice here. His life is in God's hands. He will be murdered in front of our very eyes while Cardinal George Pell is free. Barabus free and Christ's crucifixion is history repeating. The beast vs The Truth. CHRIST WILL RETURN.

Assange is a symbol of human spirit . Those after him should stand trial in ICC .Shame to western sense of justice. Nuremberg trials were crime.
Brave and adorable Assange. What Americans are doing all over the world is a devil's game .Americans must pay retribution some day.
If he gets extradited to the US…then we all as good as dead!
What I want to know is why are people like Pompeo and the Clintons still walking free? And why is Bill Gates still alive? these issues need to be resolved NOW
He is the enemy of the democrats and they own the American justice system lawyers.
Civilians there civilians here. Can we not see this? Innocent people being killed. Do not go up against the goons, police shoot peace marchers now. Or hurt them. Brave , I can never do this. And you think Democrat or Republican is any different? The “United States of Goldman Sachs “ is the ruler. I can give a few dollars is all be well Julian.
CNN are the last real journalists left. It’s sad.
… first half. He is 49 years old.
Free him we need to know that information as Americans
He is the enemy of US military industrial complex, for our enemy.
How did he become a public enemy when he is exposing evils in the government?
His story makes me sad.
Human societies are run not by law, but by power.
duh??
Julian Assange is a hero of the people and an enemy of the fascist institutions of America and Europe
Assange exposed the war crimes of the Zionist Empire. They're going after him big time.
so you all should learn something important. If you see someone killing another person, shut up and go home. It is not your business to call the police and tell them a crime is taking place….shhhhhhhhhhhh
seth rich anybody???
