Episode notes

I certainly felt that he was at risk. But when you say, the processes, let the po processes take their course, which processes are we talking about? The legal case in the us. Julian is accused under a piece of legislation from 19 17, under which there is no defence. There is no public interest defence. If you cast journalism as espionage, it's over. And he faces 17 charges, including forty years, forty four charges in relation to the antenimo ba files. Prisonor what i know is that the c i a was plotting to assassinate julian, because it's been reported, not because i say it.

Freddie Sayers meets Stella Moris, lawyer and wife of Julian Assange.

The case of Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder who published huge troves of sensitive government documents and classified military logs, has been going on for over a decade. During that time Assange has been under house arrest, hidden from extradition inside the Ecuadorian embassy in London and since 2019 has been held in Belmarsh prison. During that time, he has married and had two children with a lawyer called Stella Moris. Moris first met Assange as a young lawyer working on his case, but is now a campaigner for his acquittal and an activist for press freedom.
