Australian Government Must Do More to Bring Assange Home, Human Rights Lawyer Says

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The Australian government must do more to bring Julian Assange to his home nation because his extradition to the United States would threaten freedom of speech around the world, Australian human rights lawyer Jen Robinson said in a virtual meeting of the “Don’t Extradite Assange” campaign on Saturday.

According to Robinson, the Australian government is capable of bringing Assange to Australia if it got involved, but it has so far elected not to do so.

The 48-year-old Australian faces up to 175 years in jail if he is handed over to the US. He is wanted on charges of espionage and conspiring to commit computer intrusion for leaking classified documents that exposed US war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq.
