WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange told European lawmakers that his guilty plea to US espionage charges was necessary because legal and political efforts to protect his freedom were insufficient. He said he chose freedom over 'unrealizable justice'.
STRASBOURG Reuters – Julian Assange , the founder of whistleblower media group WikiLeaks, told European lawmakers on Tuesday his guilty plea to US espionage accusations was necessary because legal and political efforts to protect his freedom were not sufficient.
"I am free today after years of incarceration because I pleaded guilty to journalism, pleaded guilty to seeking information from a source, I pleaded guilty to obtaining information from a source and I pleaded guilty to informing the public what that information was," he said. "I am yet not fully equipped to speak about what I have endured," he said, adding: "Isolation has taken its toll which I am trying to unwind."
