Wife of Julian Assange says Biden's comments mean case could be moving in the right direction

Hindustan Times  

LONDON — The wife of Julian Assange said Thursday her husband’s legal case “could be moving in the right direction” after President Joe Biden confirmed the U.S. may drop charges against the imprisoned WikiLeaks founder. Biden said Wednesday that his administration is “considering” a request from Australia to drop the decade-long U.S. push to prosecute Assange for publishing a trove of classified American documents. Officials have not provided more details, but Stella Assange said the comments are “a good sign.” “It looks like things could be moving in the right direction,” she told the BBC, saying the indictment was “a Trump legacy and really Joe Biden should have dropped it from day one.” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the comment was encouraging. WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson said the WikiLeaks founder saw Biden’s comments as a “ray of hope.” Hrafnsson, who visited Belmarsh Prison on Thursday, said Assange was “resilient” but “not in a good state.” “What keeps him alive is his family and the tremendous support on the outside,” he said.
