The Government of USA SHOULD stop prosecution of WikiLeaks co-founder, Julian Assange, for undermining press freedom, according to the media organizations that first helped him publish the leaked information.
The Guardian he says:
Twelve years ago today, the Guardian, the New York Times, Le Monde, Der Spiegel and El Pais teamed up to release excerpts of 250.000 documents Assange obtained in the leak "cable gate".
The material, which was leaked to WikiLeaks by the then American soldier Chelsea Manning, revealed the inner mode of American diplomacy around the world.
The editors and publishers of the media organizations that first published these revelations came together to publicly oppose plans to charge Assange under a law designed to prosecute World War I spies.
"Publication is not a crime," the media reported, saying the prosecution was a direct attack on media freedom.
