“I left a letter to the president about Julian Assangeexplaining that he did not commit any serious crime, Assangehe didn’t cause anyone’s death, he didn’t violate any human rights, and he took advantage of his freedom, and stopping him, well, would mean a permanent affront to freedom of speech,” the president said during the morning’s press conference.
