The partner of Julian Assange has launched an appeal to crowdfund his fight against the US Government’s bid to extradite him.Stella Moris said the legal case is ‘a battle of David v Goliath’.

Stella Moris said it is a “monumental” legal case with “unthinkable” ramifications.

The WikiLeaks founder has been held at Belmarsh Prison in London for the past 16 months, ahead of his extradition hearing in September.

Launching the appeal to fund his defence via the Crowdjustice platform, Ms Moris, the mother of their two young children, said: “Julian is being targeted by the United States administration for the crime of journalism.

War crimes

“He helped expose war crimes and human rights abuses which the US would have preferred to keep hidden from public view. No-one has been held responsible for the serious crimes Julian has exposed. This extradition aims to entomb and silence him forever.

“This is a monumental legal case which is an attack on everyone’s right to know about scandals which politicians and governments want buried. If the US government is successful, the ramifications are unthinkable.

“It is a battle of David v Goliath and we can’t do this alone. We are calling on people everywhere to join us in this fight.”

Baltasar Garzon, who leads Assange’s international defence, said: “This is an unprecedented legal battle and so much is at stake.

“Doing justice to Mr Assange’s defence is a vast undertaking. The legal team is having to do this with Julian, the most able person to contribute, locked away in prison.”

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
