Australian PM: ‘Free Julian Assange, He Is Not A Criminal’

Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has slammed the previous government for falsely claiming Julian Assange is a criminal who has broken laws, and for failing to defend the Australian citizen against calls for his assassination by politicians and mainstream media figures in the US.

According to a United Nations ruling, Julian Assange has been “deprived of liberty” held in “arbitrary detainment” in contravention of international law during his time in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.

“The Working Group on Arbitrary Detention considers that the various forms of deprivation of liberty to which Julian Assange has been subjected constitute a form of arbitrary detention,” panel chairman Seong-Phil Hong said when the panel announced its initial finding in February.
