The Iraq War logs showed the true numbers of civilian deaths in Iraq, at least 15,000 more people had died than previously thought, as well as the abuse and torture of prisoners by police and military in full knowledge of coalition forces.

"The US figures appear to be unreliable in respect of civilian deaths caused by their own military activities."

This online event organised by the Don't Extradite Assange campaign welcomes Wikileaks editor Kristinn Hrafnsson and investigative journalists Iain Overton and Chris Woods to discuss the impact of their release.

WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange remains held at a maximum security prison in London in relation to a US extradition request – he faces a sentence of 175 years for publishing truthful information in the public interest which include the Iraq War Logs.
