Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A former Guantanamo Bay detainee was told by the Australian government yesterday that it may seize any profits from his autobiography.
David Hicks was jailed at the US base more than five years before a plea deal in 2007 let him return home to serve a nine-month prison sentence. Under Australian law, a person cannot profit from the commercial exploitation of their criminal notoriety.
The Australian newspaper reported that prosecutors have served Hicks with a notice of application for an order to restrain funds. The order will be heard in a New South Wales court next month.
