OPINION - Press freedom does not exist while my husband Julian Assange is in jail
My husband, Julian Assange, pictured below right, has been imprisoned in HMP Belmarsh in Thamesmead since 2019 because, as the publisher of WikiLeaks, he exposed the abuses of the war on terror which the United States wanted to remain concealed. As Home Secretary, Priti Patel failed to block Julian’s extradition. An upcoming High Court hearing will decide whether Britain allows the most consequential attack on press freedom of our age to proceed.
