Julian Assange has been released from prison -
The Wikileaks revelation platform is currently facing challenges

Assange 2014Firstly, it should be noted that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was released on the basis of a deal with the US authorities after spending around 14 years in prison. The terms of the US administration provided for a face-saving travel route via Saipan, a US foreign territory. Assange was tried there in a lightning trial. He pleaded guilty to one of several dozen charges. The five-year period in extradition custody in the British high-security Belmarsh prison was taken into account and Assange was released as agreed. His further journey took him to Australia.

The less good news is that Julian Assange was found guilty. He is therefore now considered to have been finally convicted and charged with incitement and conspiracy to commit espionage and treason. Our assessment is in line with that of WELT journalist Deniz Yücel, who spent a long time in Turkish custody in a similar situation years ago and who declared: "A good day for Assange, not a good day for press freedom".

The US judiciary will celebrate the victory of their legal opinion, as whistleblower websites violate US laws if US citizens are involved, no matter where they work in the world. As a result, the US has set the desired precedent for other analogue platforms to operate, allowing them to increase pressure on the websites and their own whistleblowers.The attitude of the various US governments, from "Nobel Peace Prize winner" Obama to Trump, was highly congruent in terms of content.This is despite the use of arguments and facts from Wikileaks during the election campaign and the promises made before the election that turned out to be lies after taking office.

It is to be hoped that the Assange family will find the strength to rebuild their lives after 14 years of imprisonment and near imprisonment.

The further actions of Wikileaks after the judgement should be of great interest - not only for those who are interested in the truth behind the mostly one-sided and interest-driven press reports of the mainstream.

 

What are our visitors interested in?

We were concerned with the question of what is of interest to our visitors - we have analyzed the access logs for the month of May 2024 more deeply than we normally do. Here you can see the results, some of which were surprising to us:

Range Country Contract
1 Russia Interpol
2 New Zealand International Criminal Court
3 Palestinian territories Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation
4 Japan World Trade Organization
5 Bangladesh International Organization for Standardization
6 México Union for the Mediterranean
7 Ireland Group of 15
8 United Kingdom African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States
9 Antarctica European Patent Organisation
10 Kenya International Committee of the Red Cross

If we summarise the results of the 3 language variants and the display for mobile devices, the following country data and treaties are predominantly accessed:

  • Russia, Israel, France, the USA and the Palestinian Territories as the most accessed pages,
  • The international treaties are clearly dominated by data on BRICS .

clearly dominate with extremely high values. Interestingly, and inexplicably, the International Organisation of La Francophonie was also very strongly accessed in all groups.

Statistical viewThe graphic on the left shows the frequency of calling up the countries in a grouped form. The frequency seems to vary between developing and traditional holiday countries. The access between the language versions, with the language versions English, Spanish and German, and the version optimised for mobile devices is also roughly equal.

The language versions are optimised for PC - dominating with 71%. This could either be due to our own rather poor design of the version for mobile devices, or that the site is visited more by professionally interested people.
