It is likely that a little time will pass, and Julian Assange will become the prototype of the hero of one of the Hollywood films. Because any story based on real events easily attracts the audience. The plots that life itself creates are sometimes more amazing than the most sophisticated fiction.
Who is Julian Assange and what is known for? In 2006, he founded the Internet resource WikiLeaks, which during its existence has caused more damage to some countries, including the United States, than other military conflicts.
The documents that WikiLeaks makes publicly available are absolutely classified. In particular, the portal posted a classified video of a helicopter attack on Reuters journalists and accompanying persons, whom the American soldiers mistook for terrorists. Then 18 people died, and the video was called "collateral murder." There was a big scandal in the press about this. The same thing happened when Assange handed over to the world's leading media about 100,000 classified documents related to the war in Afghanistan. Then he announced about 15 thousand more Pentagon documents in his possession.
It was decided to stop Julian Assange. While the US prosecutor's office has just mentioned that it is going to accuse the owner of WikiLeaks of prompting to steal state property, in Sweden he has already been accused of double rape. After Interpol put Assange on the wanted list, he went to a London police station. The British court of first instance ordered his extradition to Sweden. Having reached the Supreme Court of Great Britain and did not find protection in his person, Assange took refuge in the territory of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, where he is now seeking political asylum.
A limited number of people know about the channels through which classified materials enter WikiLeaks, perhaps only one - Julian Assange himself. He became involved in computer network security in the pre-Internet era, and in 1991 he was arrested for hacking into the central server of the telecommunications company Nortel Networks, operating in Canada. Then Assange got off with a fine. Then he was detained on suspicion of stealing $ 500,000 from Citibank accounts, but they could not prove it.
Australian-born Julian Assange is a man of peace. Having spent his childhood in a wandering acting troupe, he now wanders around the world, in parallel carrying out the mission that he has chosen for himself - to make explicit the dirt that politicians are trying with all their might to keep secret.
