US President Joe Biden says he is considering Australia`s request to drop the prosecution
00:07
case against Julian Assange.
00:09
The founder of WikiLeaks has been the object of more than a decade-long prosecution by
00:13
the US justice for espionage by publishing a stock of US classified documents online.
00:19
The Australian activist was indicted on 18 charges, one for computer misuse by the US
00:25
court almost 15 years ago.
00:27
Solving the Assange case is a diplomatic priority of the current Australian PM, Anthony Albanese.
00:33

00:38
raised on behalf of Mr. Assange, Australia`s national interest that enough is enough, that
00:46
this needs to be brought to a conclusion and we`ve raised it at each level of government
00:52
in every possible way.
00:57

01:02
judges are waiting for the legal assurance Assange will not face the death penalty.
01:06
The London High Court is set to evaluate the US`s reply in May 2024.
