A requirement as part of the plea deal is that WikiLeaks remove any unpublished material on the US that they or their affiliates hold. | Australian journalists are being asked by WikiLeaks founder and journalist Julian Assange's wife, Stella, to file freedom of information (FOI) requests with the US government to obtain details on its criminal case against him - as his plea deal prohibits him from doing so. In a statement released on Julian Assange's first full day back in Australia, his wife and legal team thanked legislators, the prime minister, and supporters locally and globally whose 14-year effort led to his release.
