WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces charges related to the release of classified documents and risks spending the rest of his life in US prison. His supporters see the trial as political persecution and a threat to free speech. Assange was arrested in 2019 after seven years in Ecuador's embassy in London. WikiLeaks rose to prominence in 2010, when it published hundreds of thousands of secret documents and US diplomatic cables.
