#FreeAssange 标签背后的事件涉及维基解密(WikiLeaks)创始人朱利安·阿桑奇(Julian Assange)的法律斗争。自2019年以来，阿桑奇一直被关押在伦敦东南部的一所高安全监狱中，他的律师一直在与美国的引渡令作斗争。美国指控阿桑奇根据1917年间谍法案违法，这些指控与他在2010年通过维基解密发布数以万计的秘密军事和外交文件有关，这些文件由美国军情分析员切尔西·曼宁(Chelsea Manning)泄露，揭露了隐藏的外交交易和伊拉克及阿富汗战争中平民的死亡。美国政府声称，阿桑奇可能面临长达175年的监禁，尽管美国政府的律师此前表示，他更有可能被判处四到六年的监禁。阿桑奇的案件已经引起了全球对新闻自由和知情权的关注，许多人认为，对他的起诉威胁到了第一修正案和新闻自由[2][4][7][9]。

澳大利亚政府也参与了这场斗争，澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯(Antony Albanese)在议会中表示，结束对阿桑奇的不懈监禁是向前迈出的重要一步[3]。此外，全球多个新闻自由组织和人权组织，包括无国界记者(RSF)和ARTICLE 19，都在呼吁美国政府撤销对阿桑奇的指控，并释放他[13][14]。

阿桑奇的支持者使用#FreeAssange标签在社交媒体上发起活动，呼吁公众支持阿桑奇，并要求美国政府撤销对他的指控。这个标签背后的事件不仅关乎一个人的命运，还关系到新闻自由、言论自由和公众知情权的未来[6][22]。
