Brazil’s left-wing President-elect Lula da Silva has called for journalist Julian Assange to be freed from his “unjust imprisonment.”
Assange, the founder of whistle-blowing journalism publication WikiLeaks, has languished since 2019 in a maximum-security British prison, where he has suffered from prolonged torture that could threaten his life, according to the top United Nations expert.
The United Kingdom is preparing to extradite the Australian journalist to the United States, where he is facing up to 175 years in prison on politically motivated charges based in part on illegal CIA spying and threats.
On November 28, Lula met with Assange’s colleagues from WikiLeaks. The Brazilian president-elect said he “sent my solidarity” and expressed hope that “Assange will be freed from his unjust imprisonment.”
