Kuvaus

There is one thing in life we all know for sure: death. Yet for Julian Assange, there’s a second. Persecution. Julian Assange is an Australian national and world renowned watchdog journalist. The winner of almost 20 awards, Assange has been honored by publications and organization such as The Economist, Time Magazine, and the People’s Choice Awards. His work in exposing wrongdoing can be compared to few. But the United States has silenced Assange. While Assange lays dying in a London jail, US prosecutors baselessly attempt to extradite him to charge him with crimes under a law intended for government employees. The persecution and prosecution of Assange should scare everyone. Journalists are needed in this world. Journalists expose wrongdoing. They call out corruption. But the United States has now begun an attempt to silence the truth. This is Jail, Julian Assange and the Future of Watchdog Journalism.
