More than 160 current and former world leaders, lawmakers and diplomats endorse call for the UK to free WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and stop his extradition to the US.

“This demonstrates the growing opposition around the world to U.S. efforts to extradite and prosecute Assange, and the political nature of this case,” Assange's lawyer, Jennifer Robinson, told NBC News.

We obviously do not accept the truth of what was said by others."

We wouldn’t want him to come to the US so he could tell us Russia was not behind him. The only involvement with Russia was proven with the Democrats party.

DefendAssange He should have never been arrested, he should have never have of hide, he deserves a gold fucking medal.

Those 160 can go straight to hell. Assange, aside from being a creep, is a willing operative of Russian intelligence and an enemy actor. If he is innocent, so be it however that is for a court and jury to determine.

Julian Assange will be deliver to US one way or another to stand trial. UK may well do the correct thing extradited him to the US.

absolutely NO......he need to face his crimes here in the US. Next thing you know trump will start saying what a great guy he is and give him full immunity.🤮🤮🤮

The last thing the Democrats want is Assange here. For some reason Comey and Mark Warner put a stop to that the first time a few years ago. I'm very interested in what he has to say because he said numerous times that the DNC emails didn't come from Russia.

And? Doesn't mean he won't be extradited.

Sounds like 160 people with skeletons in their closets.

What you really mean is PUTIN endorses this call. Fuck Wikileaks!

Guessing these are countries whose national security and military operations weren’t endangered by Assange’s intentionally reckless exposures of informants.

List these people.

I wonder if that would change the Brits minds, I’m gonna go out on a whim and say, nope.

But he helped the bad orange man so now we hate him.

This will keep the engineers busy. Skim the upper atmosphere, scoop up some material, and it'll be ionized gas, so that won't work. Drop a probe that slows in the atmosphere, then inflates a balloon to scoop some material, then launches itself back into space seems possible, but not easy. Not by a long shot.
