The Release of Julian Assange

The Wau Holland Foundation expresses relief as Julian Assange is released after five years in prison, able to return to Australia. Despite this, concerns remain about the legal implications of his journalistic activities, posing a threat to press freedom. The foundation acknowledges the support received for Assange's defense, totaling over 16 million euros. They highlight the challenges faced in communicating their activities to tax authorities due to a revoked non-profit status. The foundation vows to continue advocating for press freedom globally and supporting related projects. Additionally, the foundation focuses on promoting moral courage in the digital sphere, aiding whistleblowers and activists like Snowden and Manning. Despite obstacles, the foundation remains committed to its mission.
