Julian Assange says Wikileaks will release 1 million more documents in 2013
Julian Assange makes a rare public appearance from the balcony of the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he has taken refuge, to announce more documents are coming in 2013. Details and a video was made available by Sky News late on Friday.
WikiLeaks is preparing to release more than a million new documents next year, affecting every country in the world, the website’s founder Julian Assange said.
“In 2013, we will continue to stand up to bullies,” he said to the cheers of supporters gathered in front of the building.
“The power of people standing up and resisting together terrifies corrupt, undemocratic power. So much so that ordinary people here in the West are now the enemy of governments, to be watched, controlled and impoverished.”
Assange’s address came from the balcony of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he took refuge in June.
“WikiLeaks has already over a million documents being prepared to be released, documents that affect every country in the world.”
Assange has been given political asylum by Ecuador after unsuccessfully attempting to halt extradition from Britain to Sweden, where he is wanted for questioning on sexual assault charges concerning two women.
