Stella Assange Visits Parliament, Expresses Gratitude to Australian Lawmakers Stella Assange, wife of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, has made a visit to the Australian Parliament to convey her appreciation for the support shown by lawmakers towards her husband’s case. Assange, who has been detained in the United Kingdom since 2010, faces extradition to the United States to face charges related to the publication of classified information by WikiLeaks. His case has sparked international attention, with many advocating for his release. During her visit to Parliament, Stella Assange met with several members of parliament, including Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Shadow Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, and independent MP Bob Katter. She expressed her gratitude for the bipartisan support shown by Australian lawmakers, who have called for the Australian government to intervene in Assange’s case. “I want to thank the Australian Parliamentarians who have stood up for truth, justice, and the rule of law,” Assange said. “Their unwavering support has been invaluable in bringing international attention to this unjust prosecution.” Assange’s visit to Parliament comes amidst a global campaign to raise awareness of his case and advocate for his release. The Australian government has consistently maintained that it does not interfere in the judicial processes of other countries, but has also expressed concern about Assange’s welfare and has called on the UK to treat him fairly. Human rights groups and press freedom organizations have condemned the charges against Assange, arguing that they represent a threat to journalism and whistleblowing. The extradition proceedings have been marred by allegations of political motivation and unfair treatment of Assange. Stella Assange’s visit to Parliament has drawn attention to the ongoing efforts to secure her husband’s release. She has urged lawmakers to continue their advocacy and has expressed hope that Australia can play a role in finding a just and fair resolution to the case.
