New York-Sana

WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristen Hrafnsson considered that the US intelligence services that were planning to eliminate the founder of the site, Julian Assange, are no different from the killers of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

"If we look at the cases of Assange and Khashoggi, we find many similarities between them ... the CIA and the Khashoggi killers had the same intentions, and in both cases the victim is a journalist," TASS news agency quoted Hrafnsson as saying.

Khashoggi was killed in his country's consulate in Istanbul in 2018, and the Saudi regime tried to close the curtain on his murder by offering five people as scapegoats by sentencing them to death to calm world public opinion and reduce international condemnation in exchange for acquitting his officials directly involved in this crime.

"The evidence that was released should strengthen the position of Assange's lawyer before the US Department of Justice appeals the case for the WikiLeaks founder's extradition from Britain next Wednesday in the High Court in London," she added.

"The allegations of attorneys representing the US Department of Justice that statements about the risk to Assange's life if he were extradited were dashed by the CIA's plans to kill a journalist," she said.

In turn, Assange's fiancée, lawyer Stella Morris, announced that her client "is being held in Belmarsh Prison in London in difficult conditions."

"We saw him last Saturday ... he was not well and we all hope that his persecution will end," Morris said, denouncing the "criminal acts of the United States and the threat to Assange's life."

Morris referred to "the role of the British authorities in the persecution of Assange," and said, "The British government was aware of the American plans, but we do not know how closely it worked and whether it considered the kidnapping or killing of Assange."

The British authorities had detained the founder of WikiLeaks in very bad conditions, after he gained wide fame after publishing on his site a large number of leaked secret American documents, including some documents revealing that American forces committed war crimes in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, which provoked the resentment of the United States. him and invited her to hand him over.
