Julian Assange’s wife says it is now up to others to dig out information after ban imposed on WikiLeaks founder
Stella Assange has urged Australian journalists to lodge freedom of information requests with the United States government to extract details on its criminal case against her husband because the now-returned WikiLeaks publisher’s plea deal bans him from doing so.

On Julian Assange’s first full day back in Australia, his wife and legal counsel have again thanked those parliamentarians – especially the prime minister – and supporters in Australia and worldwide whose 14-year campaign resulted in his release. Assange, 52, pleaded guilty on Wednesday to one charge of espionage and was sentenced to time already served.
