A delegation of Australian politicians from across the board will travel to the United States in September to lobby against the extradition of Julian Assange from a London prison.
The contingent is set to visit Washington DC to meet with top US diplomats and urge the government to end its prosecution bid, following years of unsuccessful intervention attempts to free the WikiLeaks founder.
“Julian should be immediately reunited with his wife and children. That can only happen if the US Department of Justice drops its extradition bid at once.” The Australian national is wanted by the United States’ Department of Justice for publishing thousands of classified documents in 2010 relating to the US' war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq.
