The WikiLeaks founder’s Swedish lawyer has announced that he will lodge a formal complaint because—wait for it—it’s not fair that police documents surrounding Assange’s case were leaked to the media. “It puts Julian and his defense in a bad position,” he told a colleague, according to the Australian. “I do not like the idea that Julian may be forced into a trial in the media,” he continues. “I do not know who has given these documents to the media, but the purpose can only be one thing — trying to make Julian look bad.” Other supporters complained that the Guardian, which has published many of Assange’s WikiLeaks reveals, should treat its top source better. But a spokesman for the paper said that was an argument that “all journalists would find ridiculous.” Read These Next Iran's supreme leader makes first public comments since ceasefire.
