[HIGHLIGHTS] The wife of the co-founder of Wikileaks: “The 'Assange case' has normalized the brutal treatment of the press”

Stella Assange is the wife of Julian Assange, the co-founder of Wikileaks. The couple met 13 years ago at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

They got married inside prison, a little over one year ago. She expresses cautious optimism after the hearing in London on the US request to extradite the former editor of WikiLeaks. The Assange case is, above all, a crucial moment for press freedom, says Stella Assange, in an interview with EL PAÍS. The content of Wikileaks publications is political, in the sense that they expose state crimes, she says.
