THE continued imprisonment of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is a “criminal act,” his wife said today.
Stella Assange was speaking on the third anniversary of her husband’s arrest at the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
She said: “The UK government could end Julian’s imprisonment at any time by obeying its treaty obligations.
“The US extradition request violates the US-UK extradition treaty Article 4, which prohibits extraditions for political offences.
“Julian’s incarceration and extradition process is an abuse in itself.
“He faces [spending the rest of his life] in a US hellhole for publishing true information in the public interest, exposing the crimes and killing of innocent people by the country that wants him to spend the rest of his life in prison.
“The UK is imprisoning a publisher on behalf of the foreign power who conspired to murder him.
“There is no way of concealing any more that Julian is the victim of a vicious political persecution.
“His continued imprisonment is not only a national disgrace, it is a criminal act.”
