WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is ready to break his self-imposed silence and address the Council of Europe, his organisation revealed Wednesday.
The 53-year-old would travel from his native Australia to Strasbourg in seven days to testify before a parliamentary legal committee investigating his case, AFP reports.
That means he will speak in public for the first time when he gives evidence to the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (Pace).
It comes after a Pace report into his case, which concluded he was a political prisoner and called for Britain to hold an inquiry into whether he had been exposed to inhuman treatment.
Assange spent most of the last 14 years either holed up in the Ecuadoran embassy in London to avoid arrest or behind bars.
He had been detained at Belmarsh, a security prison in the United Kingdom, since April 2019 after British authorities arrested him in the embassy.
The DOJ had accused Assange of working with former U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, formerly known as Bradley Manning, in order to steal and disclose classified documents.
He was released from the British prison in June, as Breitbart News reported.
Assange returned to Australia and since then has not publicly commented on his legal woes or his years behind bars.
He has been seen infrequently, appearing at a court in the Marianas Islands, reuniting with his wife on arrival at a Canberra airport and spending time with his family on a quiet beach in Australia.
“Julian Assange is still in recovery following his release from prison,” WikiLeaks said on Wednesday, noting he would attend the Council of Europe “session in person due to the exceptional nature of the invitation”.
The Council of Europe is an international organisation that brings together the 46 signatory states of the European Convention on Human Rights, with little say over Assange’s legal fate.
Some legal experts believe Assange’s appearance could put his bid for a U.S. presidential pardon at risk.
“He’ll inevitably be critical of the US government on some level and I can’t see that as something that is going to be considered helpful,” Holly Cullen, a law professor at the University of Western Australia, told AFP.
“Even if he personally thinks that he doesn’t care, his legal advisers would say ‘maybe you need to be a bit more restrained until the pardon issue is resolved’.”

Things are coming together for a nice October. BTW DJT has been slowly rising these last few days as opposed to the gradual slump from all the short sellers. I'm sort of thinking that some of those short sellers might be on the run since Diddy got caught. GME also, I'm expecting all these positive things to domino real nicely for October & hopefully when Assange gives his speech the public will be ready to hear him
$GME recently announced that they completed their most recent equity offering.
Plus this: What if those short sellers are suddenly unable to access their accounts to cover DJT positions as the price goes up? Like because of asset seizure or arrest. Their losses are potentially unlimited, if they aren't around to close their positions.
exactly! If they can't cover their positions their broker is forced to liquidate their positions at some point. Most brokers won't let those individual accounts go negative because they know THEY WILL BE LIABLE IF IT DOES.... So even Brokers that are in cahoots with their criminal clients know they will either have to liquidate those accounts OR LOSE THE MONEY THEMSELVES and still probably have to liquidate them later anyways (because if they are in cahoots with their criminal clients they probably know they won't be able to cover them anymore)
So yes the brokerage houses will have to liquidate the positions - if they are short positions that means they will have to BUY
but but but but but... If their are more shorts then there are actual positions then someone, or someone's brokerage house is going to have to come up with those positions (which means buy) I ain't selling, are you? If no one is selling they will have to keep offering higher & higher prices. If Brokerage houses can't buy shares to cover then they go belly up & at that point I guess the exchange itself will have to cover. IDK exactly how it will work. Should be fun to watch/ maybe total market meltdown - meanwhile JA will be making this public statement & who knows what else the WH have in store while those brainwashed tard libs see all their 401K's go to ZERO they might actually listen! (If the exchanges can't cover - it's possible)
Do you mean the heads of those companies? They hire people to do the trading for them (publicly anyway, they have ridiculous algos do the high frequency trading). You'd have to shut down computers running the algos, then arrest every single trader they have.
Two weeks?
2-5 weeks. Some time in October
