Julian Assange has been the target of the American government over ten years for making public documents and video evidence about American involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The American Department of Justice is continuing to seek his extradition from England where he has been imprisoned.
Despite the world wide outcry from governments, media outlets and tens of thousands of citizens the Biden administration will not drop its extradition request.
The persecution of Julian Assange is an assault on the free press and an attack on human rights.
Most graphic documentation released by Assange is the murder of several civilians by the American military in Iraq which has come to be known as Collateral Murder
