An essay dedicated to the founder of WikiLeaks, the encrypted and secure website which has made known many confidential documents to the whole world. After having spent 7 years in the walls of the Embassy of Ecuador in London, Assange, hero for some, public enemy N ° 1 for the others, is currently detained in a British high security prison, under the threat of a extradition to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison.

With Olivier Tesquet, we will try to better understand this strange character and the importance of his action. We also return to the news of the past week, seen by the editorial staff of RFI.

A program presented by Eric Chaurin and directed by Vanessa Rovensky.
