talks about Assange - Anonymous Worldwide

I put together some of the interviews I made in 2019 about what’s going on with Julian Assange.
published on the ‘anonymousworldwide.com’ website.

  • The 'Afghan War logs' published by WikiLeaks in 2010 were the disclosure of a collection of internal U.S. military logs of the War in Afghanistan.

  • the 'Afghanistan Papers' published by the Washington Post in December 2019 reveal that senior U.S. officials failed to tell the truth about the war in Afghanistan throughout the 18-year campaign.

Some ten years after the publication of the Afghan war logs, and having been arbitrarily detained and tortured, Julian Assange now faces extradition to the United States.

Here's a reverse timeline of what happened in 2019 as told by expert journalists, attorneys and (former) United Nations rapporteurs.
