Leaders of Brazil and Australia are also urging dismissal of the U.S. charges against Julian Assange.
No publisher or broadcaster has ever been prosecuted under the Espionage Act. “This indictment sets a dangerous precedent, and threatens to undermine America’s First Amendment and the freedom of the press,” the letter says.In 2010, Chelsea Manning, then a U.S. Army intelligence analyst, providedwith “Cable gate” and other documents containing evidence of U.S. war crimes.
The Obama administration indicted more whistleblowers under the Espionage Act than all prior administrations combined. But it made the decision not to indict Assange because of what is known as the “problem.” The letter says, “they would have had to indict journalists from major news outlets too. Their position placed a premium on press freedom, despite its uncomfortable consequences.”
