Mexican president renews offer to grant asylum to Julian Assange in letter to Biden!

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (PNN) - July 18, 2022 - On Monday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he delivered a letter to pretender Joe Biden last week where he pleaded for the Fascist Police States of Amerika not to prosecute Julian Assange and renewed an offer to grant asylum to the WikiLeaks founder.

Lopez Obrador said he explained in the letter that Assange “did not cause anyone’s death, did not violate any human rights, and that he exercised his freedom, and that arresting him would mean a permanent affront to freedom of expression.”

The Mexican leader said that he previously offered asylum to Assange in a letter to President Donald Trump at the beginning of 2022. Last month, Lopez Obrador called Assange “the best journalist of our time.”

Assange faces up to 175 years in prison for exposing FPSA war crimes by publishing documents he received from whistleblower and former Army soldier Chelsea Manning. Lopez Obrador said earlier this month that if Assange is sentenced to life in prison, there should be a campaign to dismantle the Statue of Liberty.

“If they bring him to the (FPSA) and sentence to the ultimate penalty, to death in prison, then we will have to initiate a campaign for dismantling the Statue of Liberty, presented by the French, because it will no longer be a symbol of liberty,” he said.

While Lopez Obrador is outspoken in his support for Assange, who is an Australian citizen, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is not. Albanese has rejected calls for him to demand that Washington drop its extradition request.

Assange is currently being unlawfully held in London’s Belmarsh Prison. British Home Secretary Priti Patel has approved the extradition of Assange to the FPSA, and the WikiLeaks founder’s legal team lodged an appeal to her ruling on July 1.

Assange has been accused of 17 counts of espionage and one count of conspiracy to commit a computer crime for his role in obtaining and publishing the leaks provided by Manning. But Assange used standard journalistic practices to obtain the information, something many human rights groups, journalist organizations, and United Nations officials have pointed out to deaf-eared fascist bureaucrats from England and the FPSA.
