Watch: The 10 documents Wikileaks considers their most significant leaks
Ten years, 10 million leaked documents.
To mark its 10th anniversary, Wikileaks chose what is considers the top 10 documents it has ever leaked. In 2011, the organisation had put out a list of Indian names among account-holders in Swiss Banks.
More recently, Wikileaks head Julian Assange announced that his organisation would release documents that would derail Hillary Clinton’s campaign, after which it would go after a new target: Google.
In the video above, the organisation identifies some of its most important leaks as the Guanatamo Bay Files which uncovered the conditions of detainees in the American prison, Iraq and Afganistan war logs which disclosed details of civilian deaths, the Trafigura-Minton Report which exposed the Dutch company dumping toxic waste in Ivory Coast, and Hillary Clinton’s DNC mail.
In 2014, Assange had appeared on Times Now with a much calmer Arnab Goswami to talk about India’s reaction to the leaks. “The response of the government left a lot to be desired,” he said.
