    PACE debates and votes on Assange resolution following Strasbourg testimony

    France, Strasbourg
    SocietyHuman InterestJulian Assange

    The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) holds a debate and vote on a draft resolution concerning the treatment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in Strasbourg on Wednesday, October 2.

    It follows Assange's testimony before the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights on Tuesday.

    During that hearing he claimed he was "not free today because the system worked" but was "free today after years of incarceration because I pled guilty to journalism".

    Assange was released from Belmarsh prison in the UK in June, followed a deal with the US, in which 18 charges were dropped in exchange for a guilty plea to a single charge of espionage.

    The draft resolution highlights Assange’s case and its broader implications for human rights and press freedom, reigniting global debates on free speech, national security, and investigative journalism.
