Gabriel Shipton, brother of Julian Assange, has voiced grave concerns to Sky News Australia over Mr Assange’s potential extradition to the US and urges swift government action to prevent what he fears could be a tragic outcome.

Julian Assange's brother has called on the Albanese government to “stand up for the rights of Australian citizens” following the WikiLeaks founder's extradition delay.
