SUMMARY:A conversation with... Julian Assange
DESCRIPTION:Julian Assange is the founder and editor-in-Chief of Wikileak
 s and freedom of expression activist. He recently marked the fifth anniv
 ersary of his asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy as a political refugee. H
 e is the subject of a seven year Grand Jury investigation in the United 
 States that Australian diplomats called "unprecedented in scale and scop
 e". In April 2017 the US Attorney general affirmed that his arrest is a 
 "priority". In 2016 he won his case against the states of Sweden and UK 
 before the United Nations which found that he was subject to arbitrary d
 etention and should be released and compensated. WikiLeaks publications 
 have been used as evidence in myriad civil and criminal court cases arou
 nd the world. In August 2017 the Inter-American Court considered the nat
 ure of offshore refugee law emerging from his situation with nearly 80 i
 nstitutions and states briefing the court.
