Assange requests investigation into US actions against WikiLeaks

In the 48-page affidavit Assange describes evidence of US military intelligence investigations directed at WikiLeaks and himself dating back to 2009 and up to the most recent FBI searches in 2012-2013.

“The subject of this affidavit concerns two events involving Sweden and Germany. These events occur within the context of publicly reported FBI activities against WikiLeaks in the UK, Denmark and Iceland from 2009 to the present, which concern my work,” Assange writes in the affidavit.

The WikiLeaks founder touches on two “previously unreported events”. The first reveals Assange’s “physical surveillance by US military intelligence … in Berlin held on 26-30 December 2009.” The results of which were used “to convict Bradley Manning of 'Wanton Publication’”.

And the second incident concerns the “illegal seizure” of Assange’s suitcase on September 27 2010, while he was on a direct flight within the “Schengen border-free area from Stockholm Arlanda to Berlin Tegel” airports.

The suitcase contained three laptops that had “WikiLeaks material, associated data and privileged communications” on them.

Part of that material included “shocking evidence of a serious war crime; the massacre of more than sixty women and children by US military forces in Garani, Afghanistan.”

Evidence of this US military operation had been “corroborated by testimony in the Bradley Manning hearing.”

“The suspected seizure or theft occurred at a time of intense attempts by the US to stop WikiLeaks' publications of 2010,” the affidavit states.
