Assanged
To be Assanged1. When you are attacked on charges that you cannot immediately disprove and are forced to hide, in ways that reinforce misguided public perceptions of you, to the advantage of your detractors, you've been Assanged.2. Broader definition: If you have strong publicly voiced ethics and you fight against the corruption and the questionable ethos that pervades large 21st Century institutions and, as a result of not being able to target you legally, your name and your associations are
muddied through impressive - if childish and easily scripted - misinformation campaigns, possibly involving all the four estates, and you are forced to disprove ambiguous charges and rumors that were orchestrated primarily to
tarnish your profile and distract the mob from the truth, you've been Assanged.Named after
Julian Assange, one of the founders and most prominent spokesperson of
whistle-blower website
Wikileaks. Mr.
Assange is most famously associated with the release of several large collections of internal US government documents regarding the Afghan and Iraq wars, and also US State Department internal cables. In the free-thinking community, Mr. Assange is more widely known for founding a website that made its claim to fame by releasing documents that embarrassed many non-American governments and corporations.

(v.): When a group of powerful people use organizations and/or states under their control to actively persecute, marginalize or imprison a dissident, whistleblower or journalist by using
psychological torture, false accusations and manipulating
vagaries in the laws of the involved nations and international treaties (
Lawfare) to silence the individual.
The desired effect is to dissuade others from following in their footsteps and take attention away from embarrassing information, corruption or high level crimes exposed or publicly opposed by the person targeted.

comitted a crime with the wrong offence.

Julian Assange, the first prominent case of
Assanging.
Example:
Lawyer: "My client has been
Assanged."
Press: "Police claim
littering should be charged as more serious vandalism-type offences because it 'damages the street' but campaign groups say that is 'blatant Assanging'."
Defendant: "I did these things, your honour, I've not been framed - I've been Assanged!"
Judge: "In throwing out this case I must wonder why the
prosecution believed they could Assange this man."
