While in Strasbourg for this

ilfattoquotidiano.it/2024/10/0

a filmmaker asked me: as a journalist who has worked on WikiLeaks for 15years, if you get the next #CollateralMurder video, would you publish it?

My reply:

Having seen what I've seen, I would be very concerned, but I will publish it. For sure

Il Fatto Quotidiano · Stella Assange: “In Strasbourg so that a new Assange case won’t happen again”By Stefania Maurizi

Straordinario documentario su #Assange, #Wikileaks, e il video #CollateralMurder

Appena finito di vederlo, è stato realizzato da un giornalista turco a suo tempo arrestato per aver rivelato notizie sgradite al suo governo. Prodotto dalla tedesca Deutsche Welle.

Tutta la parte che approfondisce l'eccidio perpetrato in Iraq, intervistando i sopravvissuti e il militare americano che salvò due bambini è straordinariamente forte e toccante.

DW Documentary | InvidiousJulian Assange and the dark secrets of war | DW DocumentaryOn June 25, 2024, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was able to walk free following a deal with the US government. Does this surprising end to the publisher’s many years of criminal prosecution and imprisonment signal a positive outcome for press freedom? Turkish journalist Can Dündar, who was also imprisoned on similar charges in Turkey and now lives in exile in Germany, followed the Assange case for the last six months before his release. Dündar sees it as the most important trial for press freedom in this century. In this documentary, Dündar decides not to focus on the controversial figure of Assange, but instead on his most controversial publication: “Collateral Murder”, a video which shows possible war crimes committed by US soldiers in 2007 in an attack in Baghdad during the Iraq war. The recording shows journalists and Iraqi civilians being gunned down by US soldiers in an Apache helicopter. Dündar’s investigations take him from Iceland to the US and Iraq, as he follows the story of the infamous video. He tracks down one of the only two Iraqi survivors of the attack – a boy who was 10 years old at the time – and a US soldier who was directly involved in the incident. Dündar invited the two to meet for the first time 17 years later. The encounter makes the disturbing long-term consequences of war and the lasting pain on both sides vividly apparent. Following the publication of the video, the US military conducted an internal investigation, after which none of the soldiers were brought to trial. For Julian Assange, however, it was a different story: It was the first time in American history that publishing information the government considered secret was successfully treated as a crime. Dündar was able to accompany Julian Assange’s wife, Stella, and their two children on one of their last visits to Belmarsh maximum security prison and to the hearings at Britain's High Court. Although Assange is now free, Dündar asks what the ruling means for journalism. What will happen if journalists around the world stop reporting on war crimes, corruption or government wrongdoing for fear of conviction under an espionage law? The long-term implications of the Assange case are only just beginning to emerge. The film tells a gripping and highly topical story about the fight for truth. #documentary #dwdocumentary #Assange #pressfreedom ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.

Die USA wollen also #Assange mit einer einfachen Klage laufen lassen. Freut mich für Assange aber irgendwie weiss ich nicht was ich davon halten soll. Vielleicht haben sie einfach nur das Gefühl dass sie das Narrativ auch so in der Hand haben, so unverhohlen wie allerseits nach #Waffen und #Krieg geschrien wird. Wen kümmert da noch #CollateralMurder 🤷‍♂️😕
