7:32 pm
in the rape allegation allegation ring gazing is associated more news in the renomination. in many people's minds there's something suspicious about him and because he hasn't and he's run away from the war i think it would have been better had he gone to sweden because i think he needed a change he's clear his name but. at the same time i completely understand why he didn't see the problem in sweden it's not a country where i understand the language of addition to a media climate has been set open in sweden. i think that if julian went to sweden at that point he would have been extradited he was often like mocked in the prez and people will say ah he just wants to know as he doesn't want to face the music in sweden and so on and then said he's paranoid but i think
7:33 pm
from today's perspective and we don't really know now what the that the us the us is really after him i think he was. the big thing that i think truly undermined the public support for julian was a swedish case obviously you would find the newspapers of high repute. television stations to doing julian in and became gratuitous. i think to be fair to say the mainstream old sound media never really liked chile and. they didn't really like tulane because his model publishing was a threat to their existence. and

7:38 pm
a lot of work later down the road also came to happen but i would say that the big fear. the big publications fram. of cable gate they were conducted. wireless jordan was in house arrest and having them all. because it was so secret you'd be heroines you see people working on computers and you know i wouldn't like office because it was you know you you know you'd be looked at and they had one don't you think oh gosh what a silly question washed off will bury them tell me if i want to tell me. i sold them release the afghan war logs i sold them working on the diplomatic. and i saw them working on some stuff that came off the woods when they were here it's interesting very hard to stop organizations like we. and the whitney's isn't going to be the end of it even if we can just disappear which is no sign that it will. become

7:42 pm

some people. believe that's june in the songs to the end of the trouble. that came from the 5 that he put into the body to maine. one of the deep d.n.c. leaks basically they were e-mails from democrats see. these . outlined how the democratic national council had done its best. remove the most popular. goodies. to place reclaimed as the country and. the present. vote was something that i think the american public is really important about wiki leaks is that the russian government has engaged in espionage against america and then they have given that information to wiki leaks for the purpose of putting it on the internet.
7:46 pm
of a $2.00 and. d.c. leaks and you know me is which. is to convince us that this information was from russia well you know i don't. know whether it was from russia i knew it you know the exterior hasn't told me curious as it was. over the phone. when they revealed the dirtiest. crissy behind it and so want everyone. but when she lost the election everybody said like oh my god this was the reason why it happened because they needed some explanation. the reception of those cables was
7:47 pm
pretty nasty. there was even this outrage. and this he may keep stop making stop make a songe stop he came out of the embassy silence he got to keep. when the years went by his situation became more difficult and difficult the pressure because bigger and bigger and then the government changed in ecuador i think the situation became really great. there was an election when it came to. the end and then he became president. he was a great supporter of america still the. government decided to shift. the blame for. decided to have the
7:48 pm
furnishings connect states julian was an obstacle for dot. he started. going to get really sexy out of sites. so it was local as he could see this. but a political rally for muscle must be. seized so he said this will be able to persuade us is a similar and our government was to tell us that they had to get rid of him and turned his life into hell. turning away lawyers searching businesses and. installing cameras in every room and private meetings had to be holding the toilet not supplying toilet paper.
7:49 pm
and every cross supplying toilet paper just. for getting some of this paper you know forgetting to bring food for getting to bring them if they forgot to bring food for julian ben. he doesn't leave. his group is just as opposed to those who probably made it. so i have to ask this because according to the security firm employees who are hired by the ecuadorian government julian was an extremely difficult guest himself but argued with the embassy staff. neglected personal hygiene often left. talking about that.
7:50 pm
7:51 pm
7:52 pm
the united states immediately filed an extradition request with the u.k. but it could not be considered until julian a son should serve in the months in prison for breaching the terms of his home detention and 2012. just keeping to the we don't remember seeing the wiki leaks founder was sent to belmarsh prison just outside london. prison or. high security maximum security prison where you can murderers and terrorists and. brutal. belmarsh prison is said to be a worse place even than what. he is. denard the writer of fraternizing with all the person knows.
7:53 pm
he told me that when he sees people go past his cell he wishes he wished he could speak to them. i saw in those leaked media also great he appears to have a lot lost a lot of weight. when i saw that i really started crying because when you know someone very well and see him in in this position. i'm not allowed to hand him anything the only way of communicating with the outside world this time to save their heads. we were not sure if he wanted to communicate with journalists by town here's a letter we have just received from belmarsh prison and it's from jill and i songes it says here on the back of. that letter reveals despair and
7:54 pm
frustration as the trial draws closer the wiki leaks founder says he has no internet or telephone access which seriously hinders his ability to prepare his own defense and that he has nothing much to do except walk thousands of laps per day around the cell. it's very distressing to. see someone you have worked with and who is an old friend. in such peril. and. to. think that they may not come out of it is very upsetting. the charges that the u.s. government have raised against union to extradite him have shifted. 1st
7:55 pm
they called him a hacker and said that he had assisted manning in securing the information that manning wanted. bradley manning was a handyman who was in the armed forces and clearly was shocked by what was going on around him and. bradley manning now chelsea manning. was the original whistleblower who gave wiki leaks them most important information we ask on war logs the film from a helicopter or uses a journalist been in. the diplomatic papers all came from bradley manning. the way the u.s. ministry of justice sees it julian assange didn't just receive information from an informant which would not constitute a crime journalist do have the right to acquire information from sources even if it
7:56 pm
is classified the american government claims that assad conspired with private manning who helped him access classified information intending to harm the united states. the u.s. hopes to prove that just sound is a spy not a journalist. the charges they are absolutely applicable. to the times the other journalism for media publications. during astonish being a publisher is put in prison for being a publisher for no other reason than being a publisher. there are no rules. there are no rules to the game. even green turn a list in the united states should feel aku to a scene in running down the spine. at the charges that have been leveled against this publisher. because they could be next.
7:57 pm
there julian. you are one of the most bravest person i know and this sentence that you'll get repeated often courage is contagious it was really true. that's the reason for great movements of drugs you'll have so i would think of people who. support you and understand that there is. a wider issue at stake and he's not alone he is not alone. there are a large number of people who value the contribution has made pointing in the public interest. i've remembered you today and went into another's famous
7:58 pm
when you were relatively free and i remember that you were just you know carrying his legal back. and having him very humble i. would look forward to a day where he's free and not being honest and. not being chased around the world by the americans. i hope that we can get you out of there. if you will be sitting next to us somewhere nice something water by deceit. would be like just just a bad memory or. our early. revel to thank you for.
