The Controversial Saga of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks
Julian Assange's release after a long legal battle marks the end of a complex journey that began with WikiLeaks revealing classified military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan. Assange faced debates on press freedom versus national security concerns, blurring lines between journalism and activism. Despite being hailed as a hero by some, his actions, including exposure of informants, drew varied opinions. The legal tussle over Assange's actions, his time in the Ecuadorian Embassy, and eventual plea deal have sparked extensive discussions.
