| Julian Assange's father: My fight to free son whose childhood I missed |
| 2023-03-19 |
| [NYP] Australian architect John Shipton was missing from his son Julian Assange’s life from the time he was three until the WikiLeaks founder was in his 20s — and he gets prickly when asked to explain his long absence. "It’s none of anyone’s business and it’s an invasion of privacy," Shipton told The Post last week. Prodigal father as it were. But he’s been making up for lost time. Shipton, 76, who is a dead ringer for his 51-year-old son, re-entered Julian’s life a few years ago to campaign all over the world for his freedom. Now he features in his other son Gabriel’s new documentary, "Ithaka," which details their efforts to pressure the US to drop espionage charges against Assange. The documentary, screenings, and a speaking tour are the latest chapters in the sprawling saga that started when Assange published Wikileaks in 2010, revealing deeply-held American secrets — about the conduct of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan — which shocked the world but infuriated the agencies from which they were leaked.
