Presadiretta Julian Assange, journalism on trial

Riccardo Iacona examines the judicial proceedings made against Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks. The Australian journalist and editor became renowned for publishing "Collateral Murder" video and thousands of classified documents covering everything from wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to national security and diplomacy. A man who had the courage to reveal the secrets of Power. After his sensational arrest in 2019 at Ecuador's London embassy by British police, Julian Assange is incarcerated in one of the UK's most notorious high security prisons. For two years and a half living in a 9 square meters maximum security cell, Assange is waiting for the conclusion of the extradition trial brought by the United States. He faces 175 years in prison. Some call the trial against Julian Assange the biggest judicial scandal in history, the trial of a man who lost his freedom in telling the truth. But is it not the job of every journalist?
