US prosecutors argued that Assange was not a proper journalist, but a hacker and an activist with his own agenda,
who endangered the lives of US sources and contacts, so the Espionage Act could be applied without harming press freedom.

But press and civil liberties advocates took the view that it was irrelevant how Assange was defined.
The things he was accused of doing, “obtaining and disseminating classified information”, are what national security journalists do for a living.

The revelations WikiLeaks published about the Iraq and Afghan wars in 2010, leaked to the organisation by an army intelligence analyst, #Chelsea #Manning, brought to light possible human rights abuses by the US military in those wars, among other things.

They were published by the Guardian and other news organisations on the grounds there was a strong public interest in those secrets being brought to light.

#Biden says he’s considering Australia’s request to drop prosecution of #Wikileaks founder #Assange

“By dropping the charges against Julian he will be protecting freedom of expression and the rights of #journalists and #publishers globally. We urge him to end this legal process; to free Julian; and to recognize that #journalism is not a crime.” - #KristinnHrafnsson, Wikileaks Editor-in-Chief

"President #JoeBiden said Wednesday that he is considering a request from Australia to drop the decade-long U.S. push to prosecute Wikileaks founder #JulianAssange for publishing a trove of American classified documents.

"For years, Australia has called on the U.S. to drop its prosecution against Assange, an Australian citizen who has fought U.S. extradition efforts from prison in the U.K. Asked about the request on Wednesday, as he hosted Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida for an official visit, Biden said, 'We’re considering it.'

"Assange has been indicted on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over his website’s publication of a trove of classified U.S. documents almost 15 years ago. American prosecutors allege that Assange, 52, encouraged and helped U.S. Army intelligence analyst #ChelseaManning steal diplomatic cables and military files that WikiLeaks published, putting lives at risk.

"Australia argues there is a disconnect between the U.S. treatment of Assange and #Manning. Then-U.S. President Barack Obama commuted Manning’s 35-year sentence to seven years, which allowed her release in 2017."
