Activists welcome Australian PM’s call for the US and Britain to drop Assange case
Both Russia and Ukriane deny responsibility for the strike
ACTIVISTS have welcomed the call by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Thursday for the United States and Britain to end their legal pursuit of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.
This comes ahead of what is likely to be the final appeal by Mr Assange against his extradition to the US at a High Court hearing next Tuesday and Wednesday.
The Australian Prime Minister was speaking in parliament after backing a motion on Wednesday calling for the case against Mr Assange, an Australian citizen, to be dropped.
