The future of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange hangs in the balance as the US government continues its legal battle to extradite him from the UK.

The US Central Intelligence Agency had secret plans to abduct or kill WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange as then-spymaster Mike Pompeo was seeking revenge over hacking of the agency’s data. 

The US surveillance on its citizens is common knowledge yet the way the US government goes about spying and how it uses its surveillance data against the ones it targets is controversial.

A group dedicated to defending whistleblowers says the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) “sidestepped” concerns about its controversial investigation into the 2018 alleged chemical attack in Syria's Douma.

Australia’s prime minister says WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is “free to return home” after his legal problems are taken care of, following the denial of a US plea for his extradition by a British court.
