And finally, after 14 years of legal battles, Julian Assange can go home a free man,’ – lawyer Jennifer Robinson said after WikiLeaks founder was sentenced to time already served in Britain as part of a plea deal with the US. ‘This prosecution sets a dangerous precedent that should be of concern to journalists everywhere. The US is seeking to exercise extraterritorial jurisdiction over all of you without giving you constitutional free speech protections,’ – she added. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Freedom over censorship, truth over narrative.
