Julian Assange to make first appearance since being freed next week

Wikileaks announced the appearance on Wednesday, which will take place in France on Oct. 1. The hearing is related to a report from the Council of Europe that found Assange was a political prisoner, and called for the United States to look into whether he was exposed to inhumane treatment while in prison.
