Julian Assange's defense denounces the “political motivation” of his case to stop extradition to the United States. The Australian editor would face 175 years in prison for the leak of more than 250,000 classified documents from the US State Department in November 2010.
“The idea that Julian could be accused of violating the US Espionage Act, the same one that was applied to Daniel Ellsberg, is outrageous” Jeremy Corbyn, the former leader of the British Labor Party, said on stage.
