Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, an organisation which he founded in 2006. Subject to extradition to Sweden for legal proceedings, he was granted political asylum by Ecuador in August 2012. He has remained in Ecuador's London embassy and, as of February 2016, he is unable to leave without expectation of arrest.
In February 2016 a UN panel issued a non-binding legal opinion that Assange had been subject to arbitrary detention and should be allowed to walk free and be given compensation. The findings were rejected by UK and Swedish prosecutors, as well as UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Philip Hammond.
Early life
Assange was born in the north Queensland city of Townsville, to Christine Ann Hawkins (b. 1951), a visual artist, and John Shipton, an anti-war activist and builder. The couple had separated before Assange was born.
When he was a year old, his mother married Richard Brett Assange, an actor, with whom she ran a small theatre company. They divorced around 1979, and Christine Assange then became involved with Leif Meynell, also known as Leif Hamilton, a member of the Australian New Age group The Family, with whom she had a son before the couple broke up in 1982. Assange had a nomadic childhood, and had lived in over thirty different Australian towns by the time he reached his mid-teens, when he settled with his mother and half-brother in Melbourne, Victoria.
IN FULL: Julian Assange makes first public statement since prison release
Julian Assange says he was freed after years of incarceration because he "pled guilty to journalism".
"I am not free today because the system worked," the Australian WikiLeaks founder said during an address to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg, France, on Tuesday — his first public remarks since he was released from prison.
He has been giving evidence to its Parliamentary Assembly, which includes parliamentarians from 46 European countries, on his detention and conviction and their effects on human rights.

Julian Assange makes first public address since release from prison | DW News
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has made his first public address since he was released from prison under a plea bargain in June. He was attending a hearing at the human-rights committee of the Council of Europe in France.
Assange says he's still exhausted from his ordeal. He spent most of the last 14 years in the Ecuadorean embassy in London to avoid arrest, or locked up at the British Belmarsh Prison. In 2010, legal action against Assange started, after hundreds of thousands of leaked documents about the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were published. Let's listen in.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has made his first public address since he was released from prison under a plea bargain in June. He was attending a hearing at the human-rights committee of the Council of Europe in France.
Assange says he's still exhausted from his ordeal. He spent most of the last 14 years in the Ecuadorean embassy in London to avoid arrest, or locked up at the British Belmarsh Prison. In 2010, legal action against Assange started, after hundreds of thousands of leaked documents about the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were published. Let's listen in.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has spoken publicly for the first time since he was released from prison. On Tuesday, he gave evidence about his years of incarceration in a high-security UK prison, after the United States charged him under the Espionage Act. It's his first public appearance since being released from prison and returning to Australia.
In an at times scathing address, he criticised the United States and its allies in their handling of his case.

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has made his first public address since he was released from prison under a plea bargain in June. He was attending a hearing at the human-rights committee of the Council of Europe in France.
Assange says he's still exhausted from his ordeal. He spent most of the last 14 years in the Ecuadorean embassy in London to avoid arrest, or locked up at the British Belmarsh Prison. In 2010, legal action against Assange started, after hundreds of thousands of leaked documents about the Afghanistan and Iraq wars were published. Let's listen in.

#Assange #HumanRights #Speech
Julian Paul Assange (born 3 July 1971) is an Australian computer programmer, publisher and journalist. He is editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, an organisation which he founded in 2006. Subject to extradition to Sweden for legal proceedings, he was granted political asylum by Ecuador in August 2012. He has remained in Ecuador's London embassy and, as of February 2016, he is unable to leave without expectation of arrest.
In February 2016 a UN panel issued a non-binding legal opinion that Assange had been subject to arbitrary detention and should be allowed to walk free and be given compensation. The findings were rejected by UK and Swedish prosecutors, as well as UK Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Philip Hammond.
Early life
Assange was born in the north Queensland city of Townsville, to Christine Ann Hawkins (b. 1951), a visual artist, and John Shipton, an anti-war activist and builder. The couple had separated before Assange was born.
When he was a year old, his mother married Richard Brett Assange, an actor, with whom she ran a small theatre company. They divorced around 1979, and Christine Assange then became involved with Leif Meynell, also known as Leif Hamilton, a member of the Australian New Age group The Family, with whom she had a son before the couple broke up in 1982. Assange had a nomadic childhood, and had lived in over thirty different Australian towns by the time he reached his mid-teens, when he settled with his mother and half-brother in Melbourne, Victoria.
