Julian Assange

A project of the Courage Foundation, the Assange Defense Committee is a national coalition which fought to free WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

Comprising human rights defenders, press freedom advocates, civil liberties lawyers, and supporters across the United States, Assange Defense organized public rallies, provides essential resources, and raises awareness about the unprecedented prosecution against Julian Assange and the threat it posed to the freedom of the press around the world.

In supporting journalists’ right to publish, the Assange Defense Committee upholds the public’s right to know what its government is doing in its name.

Since its inception, the Committee has advocated for Julian Assange’s immediate release, charges to be dropped, safe passage to the secure location of his choosing, and compensation for the psychological torture and arbitrary detention he has endured.
