Dear Friend of Press Freedom,

Whether you love or hate Julian Assange, the United States’ prosecution of the Wikileaks publisher under the Espionage Act for printing government secrets in 2010 poses an extreme risk to press freedom. With the U.K. high court scheduled later this month to hear what could be Assange’s final appeal before he’s extradited to the U.S., the threat to journalists is high.

Join us on February 15, 2024, at 12:30 p.m. EST for a virtual panel discussion explaining how the Assange prosecution endangers all journalists.

And don’t miss the world premiere of a Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) video urging the Biden administration to drop this dangerous prosecution.

Speakers:

• Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation
• Carrie DeCell, senior staff attorney at the Knight First Amendment Institute
• Trevor Timm, executive director of Freedom of the Press Foundation
• Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project
