“President Biden Considers Australia’s Request to Cancel Julian Assange Extradition Amidst Controversy and Calls for Press Freedom”

US President Joe Biden is considering Australia’s request to cancel Julian Assange’s extradition. Australian PM Scott Morrison wants Assange returned to Australia after the withdrawal of the UK’s offer. The US authorities seek his transfer for political offenses. Assange’s partner calls to “Stop the persecution.” The London High Court ruled against extradition due to fears of his death. US prosecutors want to try Assange on 18 charges relating to WikiLeaks’ publications. Assange’s lawyers have appealed the UK’s extradition decision.
