UK authorities playing role of ‘executioner’ in Assange case, fiancee says
“It is horrifying that Britain has let itself be instrumentalised by a foreign power to bring about travesty," finacee Stella Moris has said.

Julian Assange's fiancee said: “How can it be fair, how can it be right, how can it be possible, to extradite Julian to the very country which plotted to kill him?”
The former Labour leader said the only thing he had done through his work was to highlight "a truth that was embarrassing to the US".
“If the Biden Administration does not end this now, the case will limp through the courts while Julian remains in prison indefinitely, unconvicted, suffering and isolated."
“Having Julian locked up and facing extradition degrades the UK, and it is a threat to press freedom in the UK."
Messages saying “Bring Assange Home”, and “Journalism Is Not A Crime” were also projected onto buildings in the capital.
Police could be seen leading two people away outside the court building as supporters shouted “fascists."
The ruling was made at the Old Bailey on Monday morning, because of concerns over the WikiLeaks founder's mental health.
"It's a f*cking abomination that we have Julian Assange being put on trial for exposing war crimes.... and the people who committed these war crimes are all gone."
