WikiLeaks indicated that it will be pursuing an appeal of the decision.
“This is a dark day for press freedom and for British democracy,” WikiLeaks said. “Julian did nothing wrong. He has committed no crime and is not a criminal. He is a journalist and a publisher, and he is being punished for doing his job.”
Julian Assange founded WikiLeaks in 2006 as a whistleblowing website that publishes classified media from anonymous sources. The website rose to prominence in 2010 when, an army intelligence analyst, leaked hundreds of thousands of battlefield reports to WikiLeaks from her time serving in the Middle East in the late 2000's.
