About this episode
What is Wikileaks? On December 10th, a UK court ruled that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange could be extradited to the United States. The Australian is currently being held on remand in Belmarsh Prison for breaching the terms of his bail, but he also faces long-standing espionnage charges from the US. Those relate to the publication of secret documents on US army activity in Afghanistan, over a decade ago. That would lead to the former hacker being labelled as the US’ public enemy number one by some observers. When was Wikileaks actually created? How did the video come to light? Did Wikileaks continue to publish during that time? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Who is Andy Warhol? What is NATO? Who is Batman?
