Julian Assange was charged under the Espionage Act for publishing classified documents including the 'Collateral Murder' video showing a US Apache helicopter killing Reuters journalists and Iraqi civilians. The charges were unprecedented — no publisher had ever been charged under the Espionage Act. Assange spent 7 years in the Ecuadorian embassy and 5 years in Belmarsh prison. In June 2024, he pleaded guilty to a single count and was released after serving 62 months. Press freedom organizations worldwide condemned the prosecution as a direct threat to investigative journalism.
