48 Senators and MPs have banded together to demand the United States Attorney-General drop the extradition of Australian journalist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange! The controversial figure has been locked up in a UK prison for years, and his legal battle has been raging on for over a decade.
Assange is no stranger to controversy – he gained infamy when WikiLeaks released classified government documents to the public in 2010. Now, the US government has charged him with 18 counts, including violating the Espionage Act.
But there may be hope for the polarizing figure yet! The growing political pressure could be the key to his freedom, and the hashtag #FreeAssangeNOW is already making waves on social media. Stay tuned for more updates. #auspol #politas
