WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has appealed against the British's government decision last month to order his extradition to the US. 9News

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has appealed against the British's government decision last month to order his extradition to the US.

Assange's supporters staged protests before his 51st birthday on Sunday, with his wife Stella Assange among people who gathered outside the Home Office on Friday to call for his release from prison.Julian Assange has battled in British courts for years to avoid being sent to the US, where he faces 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse.

To his supporters, Assange is a secrecy-busting journalist who exposed US military wrongdoing in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Australian government has been under mounting pressure to intervene, but last month Prime Minister Anthony Albanese rejected calls for him to publicly demand that Washington drop its prosecution of Assange.

He did nothing wrong, he was a journalist who published the truth and made information public. If he is given over then give up on hearing any other side of the story because journalists won’t risk it. He did what the photographer with the napalm burnt children of Vietnam did.

Australian impotent media guilty of imprisonment of an innocent Australian...

Why not UK just become the 51st state of US?

Seriously- ‘British Government’s’. grammar is terrible 😡

Zzzzzzzz
