Julian Assange hails soldier accused of leaking us cables as 'unparalleled hero'
The WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, today hailed the young US soldier accused of leaking the diplomatic cables as ``an unparalleled hero'' and suggested that his organisation deliberately placed its servers in certain jurisdictions, such as Amazon in the US, to test their commitment to freedom of speech.
Julian Assange says he is proud that WikiLeaks has helped US leaker Edward Snowden escape from Hong Kong and seek refuge in Ecuador.
