Assange files appeal against US extradition
Set him free!
“Julian Assange is being prosecuted and punished for his political opinions,”
while the US government “misrepresented the core facts” of the case to the UK judiciary.
It adds that the request to extradite the WikiLeaks co-founder violates the relevant treaty
between the US and the UK, as well as international law.

Assange has been a target for the US since 2010, when WikiLeaks released a trove of
classified documents that depicted alleged war crimes committed by the US forces during
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has since been accused of conspiring to hack Pentagon
computers and is charged under America’s 1917 Espionage Act over publication of classified materials.
