The lawyer for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says plans to extradite him are an assault against the rights of journalists all over the world to uncover secrets.
In dramatic scenes, Julian Assange was dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy in London by British Police last week.Julian Assange accused of setting up 'spy centre' in Ecuadorian embassy
"This case is and has always been about his concern about being sent to face American injustice. We've been warning since 2010 and I've been working on his case since the initial Swedish request came through," she said. Ms Robinson said Assange has always cooperated with the Swedish investigation, even remaining in the country to answer questions about the assault case.
"I've made it very clear all along that if there are allegations which Julian Assange needs to answer of sexual issues, sexual attacks that may or may not have taken place in Sweden, then it's a matter for the courts to decide. But I do think he should answer those questions”, he said.
