Independent media reclaimed the narrative around Julian Assange, changing the story from one of dehumanization to one of camaraderie. Assange's brother, filmmaker Gabriel Shipton, describes the solidarity that independent media voices like @jimmy_dore, @ComicDaveSmith, and @Judgenap felt with Assange and WikiLeaks. "They could see...how the pursuit of Julian really affected their rights to speak out and do their jobs."

BREAKING: The FBI likely has 28,240 pages of files on @wikileaks founder and journalist Julian Assange, excluding any files from the Mueller Investigation. This revelation came from a late night filing by the US Attorney's Office in response to our ongoing lawsuit Defending Rights & Dissent v. FBI. We are currently in court defending your right to know about the FBI's role in the press freedom case of the century.

One year ago today, Julian Assange walked free after a decade and a half of persecution. Today, we are actively suing the FBI in court to compel them to release their files on Assange and WikiLeaks. They still hope to keep secret the full story of their dirty war against journalism.

Assange has spent the last year at home in Australia, reconnecting with the world, rediscovering nature, & spending time with his family. One year since his release, his wife @Stella_Assange says he's "working on a project to slow the 'rush' towards war" independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

"I was very happy to see that Assange is in good health and is rebuilding his family and professional life. He is an example for all who work to defend freedom of the press and human rights." - @LulaOficial

Recebi na última sexta-feira (25/4), em Roma, o jornalista e programador Julian Assange. Comentamos sobre o engajamento do Papa Francisco em favor da causa da liberdade de expressão e de defesa da democracia. Foi a partir da audiência concedida pelo Papa à esposa e aos filhos de Assange, em 2023, que a campanha pela libertação do jornalista ganhou novo ímpeto. Fiquei muito feliz em constatar que Assange está bem de saúde e está reconstruindo a sua vida familiar e profissional. Ele é um exemplo para todos que atuam em defesa da liberdade de imprensa e dos direitos humanos.

Six years ago Julian Assange was dragged from the Ecuadorean embassy and locked up in London’s notorious Belmarsh prison, where he spent 1,901 days in grim conditions. Thankfully he is now safe & free, but we must never forget the UK’s role, as this could so easily happen again.

👇👇After a years long legal battle the Crown Prosecution Service searched for information about the destruction of emails about Wikileaks founder Julian Assange – but too late to retrieve data about the deleted documents #FOIA #Assange Story from @SMaurizi for @ComputerWeekly
After 7 years of litigation and 2 rulings by 2 judges, the @cpsuk has finally conducted detailed searches on who, when, how, why #CPS destroyed key documents on the @WikiLeaks founder, Julian #Assange. BUT it is too late! computerweekly.com/news/3666…

Had @cpsuk addressed our requests seriously from the very beginning,it is likely the CPS’s former IT service provider or the CPS’s extradition unit would have still had data about the destruction of key docs on the @wikileaks founder,Julian #Assange computerweekly.com/news/3666…
