A recent report by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) concluded that Assange qualifies as a political prisoner, marking a significant development in his case.
Julian’s wife, Stella Assange, said in a post on X: “It will be an exceptional break from his recovery as @COE invited Julian to provide testimony for the committee’s report into his case and its wider implications.”
WikiLeaks noted that Assange is still in the process of recuperating following his prison release, stating that his legal battles took a personal toll.

The PACE report accuses governments of using legal and extralegal measures to suppress cross-border dissent, raising concerns about threats to press freedom and human rights.
In 2010, WikiLeaks revealed and published documents — including details of civilian casualties in Afghanistan and Iraq — that U.S. authorities claimed endangered hundreds of lives. U.S. authorities subsequently attempted to prosecute Assange under the Espionage Act.
Assange’s freedom was secured in June through a plea deal with U.S. authorities, where he admitted guilt to a single espionage charge in exchange for the dismissal of 17 other charges and credit for time served.
Assange’s case has sparked intense debate about transparency, national security, and the role of journalism in exposing government actions.
