Episode notes

i first heard about wickileeks in around two thousand eight, because i was living in east t mason. I remember vividly watching that for the first time and crying as i watched it. And then in 20 ten, obviously, the collateral murder f idio. So at that point, ber were you already aware of his case and a kind of supporter of his cause in some way? Or was this just curiosity, or what led you to take up that call?"

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.
