Journalists worldwide demand end to Assange's politically motivated persecution

Moscow, Aug 11 (UNI/Sputnik) The International Federation of Journalists, which speaks for 600,000 journalists in 146 countries, demanded on Wednesday that charges be dropped against jailed whistleblower Julian Assange.
UK district judge Vanessa Baraitser ruled in January against Assange's extradition to the United States, because he would be at risk of suicide, but she said he must wait in prison for the outcome of a US appeal hearing, which began at the High Court in London on Wednesday.
"President Joe Biden must end the years of politically motivated prosecution of Julian Assange by finally dropping the charges against him," Anthony Bellanger, the federation's secretary-general, said.
