Julian Assange is an Australian editor, publisher, and activist who founded WikiLeaks in 2006. His publishing work for WikiLeaks has helped expose the recent crimes of imperialism, notably during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, as well as the crimes of the US corporate media in supporting those wars.[1]

Targeted by Western lawfare

False charges have been brought against Assange, and those charges have since collapsed.[2] However, the imperialists have managed to get him extradited to the UK, and are currently engaged in a legal battle to extradite him to the US, where he will likely be "suicided"[3][4]

In 2022, Assange was denied permission to appeal his case to the US Supreme Court.[5]
