he Australian delegation will meet with members of the Congress and Senate.
WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange’s supporters say he has been victimised because he exposed US wrongdoing.
The group will urge US officials to drop their attempts to extradite Assange from a British prison to the US, where he is wanted on charges over WikiLeaks’ release of confidential US military records and diplomatic cables. Assange’s brother and Chair of the Assange Campaign organisation, Gabriel Shipton, said the vast majority of Australians did not understand why the US continued to demand his extradition.
The Australian delegation will meet with members of the Congress and Senate, officials at the state and justice departments, and think-tanks including the American Civil Liberties Union and Reporters Without Borders.
