/The legal team for Julian Assange is moving quickly to appeal the decision by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel to extradite the WikiLeaks founder to the United States.
"Nor have they found that extradition would be incompatible with his human rights, including his right to a fair trial and to freedom of expression, and that whilst in the US he will be treated appropriately, including in relation to his health."provided by US authorities on how Mr Assange is likely to be treated.Ms Patel's decision does not mean the end of Mr Assange's legal battle, which has been going on for more than a decade.
"This matter will go back into the courts but it's an opportunity again to remind Australians of the need to ensure this Australian citizen doesn't face 170 years for revealing war crimes committed by the US," he told SBS News.
Independent MP Andrew Wilkie urged Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to pick up the phone and "demand an end to this madness". "The Australian Government has been clear in our view that Mr Assange’s case has dragged on for too long and that it should be brought to a close," she said in a joint statement with Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus.
If Labor can return a Tamil family to Biloela could they rescue Assange too please ?
Journalists around the world should be advocating his release.
They prevented illegal immigrants being deported to Rwanda but look to deport an Australian citizen to the US? Odd BorisJohnson
Free Assange
She has a thing for sending people places
Such cowardice, exactly what we’ve come to expect from Johnson and his government of lapdogs. Come on, Albanese, have the courage to stand up for your values and this brave Australian citizen. Bring Julian home!!!
Where are you albanese you flake
Correctly the Home Secretary can only be stopped condemning a man to prison without a fair trial. Refusing a man a fair trial, is not happening here. The injured party is Uncle Sam, but remember England hung its own war criminal, with fair trial, mob violence Mussolini without.
does our glorious leader have any opinion on this?
This is an appalling outcome. Julian will be quietly killed in a US prison. Will he be sentenced to 654 yrs like other insane US prison terms. Free speech is dead, censorship reins supreme. Australian government stand up!!!
Then the people spying on me for my secrets are guilty. 'America has to Go' in Synth. 'You're leaving, you'll be leaving, here that America'. Adi-Das Third Reich stripes. Tesla Austrian Empire. 👍SS TikTokimadude009 to know. Tick Tock⌚️
I bet he regrets not gonna Ng to Sweden and face his accusers in a court of law. Swedish nacis laws prevents anyone from being deported to another for political reasons. But hey, he made his choice...
I don’t understand how publishing information someone gave you can be a crime. People now say he’s a Russian asset. Wouldn’t he be in Russia with Snowden by now if that was actually true? US government wants to make sure no one gets ideas of exposing things ever again
Please let the Appeal hold....UK GOVT A DISGRACE!
PP Poison in big knickers personified
Assange is a Russian AGENT. So it's no concern of Australia. auspol
The UK has been reduced to puppet by the US, so much for a respected Kingdom and a once formidable empire of which US was born from
Best of luck. That russian asset is toast. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
He isn't being prosecuted for stealing government secrets but for publishing Hillary's emails.
