I鈥檓 free because I pleaded guilty to journalism

LADIES and gentlemen, the transition from years of confinement in a maximum security prison to being here before the representatives of 46 nations and 700 million people is a profound and a surreal shift. The experience of isolation for years in a small cell is difficult to convey. It strips away one sense of self, leaving only the raw essence of existence...

JULIAN Assange of WikiLeaks fame is now back in the country of his birth, having endured conditions of captivity ranging from cramped digs in London鈥檚 Ecuadorian embassy to the maximum-security facilities of Belmarsh Prison.

Truth dies, truth braves, Assange goes home

THE truth defies power and denies dying. Truth survives by surmounting odds and obstacles. Despite this trajectory of truth, sometimes it appears to be dying 鈥� a short phenomenon in life. Julian Assange鈥檚 journey to freedom presents this fact: a simultaneous act of surviving and the apparent dying of truth. The Spanish define truth in a proverb: 鈥楾ruth is God鈥檚 daughter鈥�. The daughter lives...

The media kept Assange behind bars

IT IS only right that we all take a moment to celebrate the victory of Julian Assange鈥檚 release from 14 years of detention, in varying forms, to be united, finally, with his wife and children 鈥� two boys who have been denied the chance to ever properly know their father...

Exposing craven media stable

You saved Julian Assange

THE dark machinery of empire, whose mendacity and savagery Julian Assange exposed to the world, spent 14 years trying to destroy him. They cut him off from his funding, cancelling his bank accounts and credit cards. They invented bogus charges of sexual assault to get him extradited to Sweden, where he would then be shipped to the US...

How long for Assange to win right to appeal

SO JULIAN Assange won his right to appeal extradition to the United States from England. How long before that next legal step takes place? Months, a year? Who knows? You can bet neither Joe 鈥極nly Pardons for Them That Don鈥檛 Need 鈥楨m鈥� Biden nor Donald 鈥楳aybe a Pardon鈥� Trump is keeping track...

Slow-motion execution of Assange

THE decision by the High Court in London to grant Julian Assange the right to appeal the order to extradite him to the United States may prove to be a Pyrrhic victory. It does not mean Julian will elude extradition. It does not mean the court has ruled, as it should, that...

The judicial torture of Assange

ONLY this month, the near-comatose US president, Joe Biden, made a casual, castaway remark that his administration was 鈥榗onsidering鈥� the request by Australia that the case against Julian Assange...
