WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange prepared a statement from his hiding place in the Ecuadorian Embassy

WikiLeaks has announced it has begun publishing more than two million embarrassing and incriminating emails from Syrian government officials.

In a news conference, the whistle-blowing website’s spokesman Sarah Harrison revealed the emails were sent by political figures, government ministers and companies between August 2006 and 2012.

She read a statement from the website’s controversial founder Julian Assange – currently holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London – claiming the emails contain material embarrassing to both ‘Syria and its opponents’.

Assange, who is attempting to avoid extradition to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual abuse, wrote: ‘The material helps us not merely to criticise one group or another, but to understand their interests, actions and thoughts. It is only through understanding this conflict that we can hope to resolve it.’

WikiLeaks said the emails, which it
has called ‘The Syria Files’, would shine a light on the inner workings
of the Syrian government and economy, and ‘also reveal how the West and
Western companies say one thing and do another.

There are more than eight times as
many documents in ‘The Syria Files’ as the number of diplomatic cables
WikiLeaks published in 2010, when it angered Washington by disclosing
confidential information relating to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The range of files extends from the
intimate correspondence of the most senior Baath party figures to
records of financial transfers sent from Syrian ministries to other
nations, WikiLeaks said.

The emails are in several languages
and include 68,000 in Russian.

Moscow is one of Syria’s main arms
suppliers and has shielded its long-standing ally President Bashar
al-Assad from tougher U.N. sanctions over his crackdown on a 16-month
uprising.

The revolt, which
started with peaceful pro-democracy protests in March 2011, has turned
into a something approaching a civil war as the government’s crackdown
triggered an armed uprising.

Opposition
leaders and Western governments say more than 15,000 people have been
killed in the uprising.

The government says ‘terrorist gangs’ steered
from abroad have killed several thousand troops and police.

WikiLeaks
said that although it had not yet verified all the emails due to their
significant volume, it was ‘statistically confident’ the vast majority
of files were genuine.
