President Joe Biden said on April 10, 2024, that he was considering Australia's request to drop the prosecution of Julian Assange, founder of Wikileaks.
President Joe Biden said Wednesday that he is considering a request from Australia to drop the decade-long U.S. push to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for publishing a trove of American classified documents. For years, Australia has called on the U.S. to drop its prosecution against Assange, an Australian citizen who has fought U.S. extradition efforts from prison in the U.K.
WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson, responding to Biden's comments, said in a statement that 'it is not too late for President Biden to stop Julian’s extradition to the U.S., which was a politically motivated act by his predecessor.' 'By dropping the charges against Julian he will be protecting freedom of expression and the rights of journalists and publishers globally,' she said.
