Lawmakers Urge DOJ to Uphold Press Freedom by Dropping Charges Against Assange

Assange continues to fight his extradition to the United States, which the U.K. government approved last year.

On the fourth anniversary of Julian Assange’s arrest, Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib led six other progressive lawmakers in calling on U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to “uphold the First Amendment’s protections for the freedom of the press by dropping the criminal charges” against the Australian WikiLeaks founder and withdrawing the extradition request of the U.K. government.
