FBI Sued For Withholding Files On Assange And Wikileaks

“With the legal persecution of Julian Assange finally over, the FBI must come clean to the American people," Chip Gibbons, policy director for Defending Rights & Dissent.

The civil liberties organization Defending Rights and Dissent sued the FBI and United States Justice Department for withholding records on WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange.

“For nearly a decade and a half, we’ve been trying to get at the truth about the U.S. government’s war on WikiLeaks ,” declared Chip Gibbons, the policy director for Defending Rights and Dissent.

Gibbons added, “With the legal persecution of Julian Assange finally over, the FBI must come clean to the American people.”

On June 25, 2024, U.S. government attorneys submitted a plea agreement [ PDF ] in the U.S. District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands after Assange agreed to plead guilty to one conspiracy charge under the U.S. Espionage Act.

Assange was released on bail from London’s Belmarsh prison, where he had been jailed for over five years while fighting a U.S. extradition request. He flew on a charter flight to the Northern Mariana Islands, a U.S. territory where a plea hearing was held.
