FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Julian Assange’s mother says the Australian government has done nothing to help him fight his extradition from the UK to Sweden.
Assange lost his British Supreme Court extradition appeal on Wednesday, but lawyers for the WikiLeaks founder have indicated they will seek to have the appeal reopened.
Queensland-born Assange, 40, has been fighting a Swedish Public Prosecutor request that he be extradited to Stockholm for questioning over allegations of sexual assault against two women in August 2010.
Lawyers for Assange argued that the prosecutor was not a judicial authority, the title necessary to order an extradition.
Assange’s mother, Christine Assange, flew to London to be with her son for the judgment.
She criticised the Australian government’s lack of help.
“(They have been) absolutely useless, in fact contrary to help, they’ve done everything they can to smear Julian and hand him up to the US,” she told ABC Radio in Melbourne.
Ms Assange said it was important the facts of the case were told.
“I’ve always believed – which is really what WikiLeaks is based on, getting information out to people – that people can have opinions, but unless the opinions are based on fact they’re not really valid,” she said.
WikiLeaks has long expressed concern that if Assange is sent to Sweden, Stockholm would quickly send him on to the United States.
While Australia’s extradition laws would also allow her son to be sent to the US, Ms Assange believed Julian would have greater legal protections if he was fighting the extradition from home.
Rallies supporting Assange are due to be held in most Australian capital cities on Thursday.
