Inside Story - WikiLeaks special: Assange: hero or villain?

  • 12 years ago
Julian Assange and his whistle-blowing site WikiLeaks continue to make headlines - with daily revelations continuing, even though Assange is himself now behind bars. Is he a hero or a villain? Can he be held legally accountable? Are the revelations on his site endangering lives or are they simply embarrassing for the US government? And what of freedom of expression? Inside Story will be dealing with all these issues and more in a series of programmes over the coming week. We begin with the fundamental issue of freedom of speech and information.
