WikiLeaks was established in the year 2006 by Julian Assange as a way to reveal a variety of “pertinent” documents. The publication of over half a million classified US government and army documents in 2010 put him on the map despite him publishing numerous reports and documents since the site’s inception. The documents were later discovered to have been leaked by military analyst Chelsea Manning.

She was prosecuted after leaking the documents in accordance with US law, and multiple organizations called upon Assange to face criminal charges. Since Julian Assange was denied bail in January 2021, he remains incarcerated in HM Prison Belmarsh. Meanwhile, Assange had established a close relationship with Stella Moris, another member of his legal team who assisted in fighting Sweden’s and the United States’ extradition bids.

A romance soon developed between the two, and they even went on to father children. According to a report in June 2021 claiming that he did not want to wait to see her, Assange’s marriage to Stella Moris is to be solemnized inside the high-security prison. The court battle continues, so it is pertinent to point out that.
