> "terrible radicals from around the world". Since then he is a frequent
> topic or guest of the Russian-backed media.
>
> 2. Syria meeting

> Bashar al-Assad in 2013. Assange's father John Shipton participated in the

> "to show solidarity with the Syrian people and their nation." On its

> of the deadly consequences of any Western military intervention in Syria".
> Averting Western military action has been Russia's long-standing position.
> After the meeting generated some controversy, Julian Assange was at pains
> to distance himself from the decision by WikiLeaks Party to attend.
>
> 3. Edward Snowden
> WikiLeaks was "intimately involved" in Edward Snowden's evasion of Western
> authorities, after he leaked US National Security Agency intelligence
> documents to a select group of journalists in 2013. In fact, Assange
> dispatched a WikiLeaks team member, Sarah Harrison, to Hong Kong, where
> Snowden first revealed himself. Harrison "worked in Hong Kong as part of
> the WikiLeaks team that brokered a number of asylum offers for Snowden and
> negotiated his safe exit from Hong Kong".
>
> Assange later told the British media that "Snowden was well aware of the
> spin that would be put on it if he took asylum in Russia". Assange said
> Snowden preferred Latin America "but my advice was that he should take
> asylum in Russia despite the negative PR consequences", in part because it
> would be harder for him to be caught and returned to the US.
> 4. An anti-Western bias
> WikiLeaks' seeks "transparency" primarily from countries and organisations
> that Russia opposes. These often include US organisations (such as private
> intelligence group Stratfor), the International Monetary Fund or the EU.
> More to the point: there are few big leaks from authoritarian nations,
> except for arguably Saudi Arabia - which is also a Western ally. Recently,
> Assange has defended his apparent bias towards Russia by claiming to have
> published "2.5 million [documents] about Russia + Syria". Yet these same
> documents are from Western sources. A glance at the "leaks" show a
> preponderance of Western sources, and Turkey, a NATO member which has been
> at odds with Russia over the past year.
>
> Assange has a history with the US of course. He has remained at the
> embassy of Ecuador in London since 2012 to avoid being extradited to Sweden
> to answer questions about an alleged rape. Assange fears that if he exits
> the embassy, or travels to Sweden, he will ultimately be arrested and
> extradited to the US, where he could stand trial for his role in the
> Cablegate leaks and be given a long sentence such as that received by
> Chelsea Manning, the US soldier found guilty of giving the classified
> documents to WikiLeaks. Manning was sentenced to 35 years' jail in 2013.
>
> 5. Pro-Russia views
> WikiLeaks' Twitter account publishes pro-Russia material or even ideas and
> content directly from Russia. For example, in 2015, after Turkey shot down
> a Russian aircraft that passed briefly over its airspace, WikiLeaks tweeted
> Russia's version of the plane's flightpath.
