Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, attended the 78th Cannes Film Festival, for the screening of The Six Billion Dollar Man, a documentary about his life. For the photocall of his documentary, Assange was in casuals with an olive green shirt, black denim pants and a white T-shirt which caught our attention. The T-shirt had printed names of 4,986 Palestinian children killed in Israel바카라s war on Gaza.

He was also seen with a sign on the back of his shirt that read, 바카라Stop Israel.바카라

Who is Julian Assange?

For the unversed, the 53-year-old former hacker had spent five years of imprisonment fighting extradition from Britain and hid for another seven years in the Ecuador embassy in London, where he claimed political asylum.

Julian Assange was released from a British prison last year in June, and was later allowed to return to his native Australia after striking a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors. 

He is avoiding to talk to the media. His wife Stella Assange, a Spanish-Swedish lawyer, said, 바카라He'll speak when he's ready.바카라

She told AFP, "We live with incredible nature at our doorstep (in Australia). Julian's very outdoorsy. He always has been. He's really recovered physically and mentally".

Stella, who also attended the screening, wore a brooch with a large message, 바카라Stop Killing.바카라 

Eugene Jarecki, the director of The Six Billion Dollar Man, told AFP, "I think Julian Assange put himself in harm's way for the principle of informing the public about what corporations and governments around the world are doing in secret".

He added, "I think you'd have to look at that person as having heroic qualities".
