Julian Assange revealed that he chose freedom over unrealisable justice, indicating that legal protections for whistleblowers and journalists often exist only on paper.
He expressed that he is not free today because the system worked, but rather because he pled guilty to journalism, highlighting the challenges journalists face.
Assange urged lawmakers to protect freedom of expression, emphasizing that the criminalization of news-gathering threatens investigative journalism everywhere.
In his address, Assange noted the stark reality that no one has faced justice for the unarmed civilian deaths in the Iraq war, showcasing the ongoing injustice.
