“Material Of Public Importance!” Former Lawyer To Julian Assange Praises His Release After Plea Deal

Talk’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by Julian Assange’s former lawyer Geoffrey Robertson KC to discuss the dramatic release from prison of Julian Assange. The WikiLeaks founder had reached a plea deal with US authorities. Court papers filed by the US Justice Department show Assange is scheduled to appear in federal court to plead guilty to an Espionage Act charge of conspiring to unlawfully obtain and disseminate classified national defence information. It followed the publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. He will return to his home country of Australia after his plea and sentencing, scheduled for Wednesday morning local time in the Mariana Islands, a US commonwealth in the Western Pacific.
