Description
In his first public appearance since his release from prison, whistleblower Julian Assange pleaded before a Council of Europe committee for freedom of information, portraying himself as persecuted by the United States. 'I regret how much ground has been lost during this period. To what extent telling the truth has been stigmatised, attacked, weakened and diminished.
