FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s fight is with the Swedish government and Australia can’t fight a sexual assault case for him, Foreign Minister Bob Carr says.
Mr Assange has sought political asylum at Ecuador’s embassy in London, fearing he could face the death penalty because Australia won’t protect him from extradition to the US once he is in Sweden.
He walked into Ecuador’s embassy in central London on Tuesday and asked for asylum under the United Nations Human Rights Declaration.
The 40-year-old is trying to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual assault allegations, which he says are baseless.
He claims the US has secretly indicted him for divulging American secrets and will act on the indictment if Sweden succeeds in extraditing him from Britain.
But Senator Carr said Mr Assange’s argument was with one government – the Swedish government – who want to question him about sexual assault allegations.
“It’s not about WikiLeaks, it’s not about secrets, it’s not about political persecution,” he told ABC Television.
Australia had made representations to the Swedish government on behalf of Mr Assange, the foreign minister said.
The Swedish government had committed to giving Mr Assange due process.
But Senator Carr said Australia could not fight his case for him on the sexual assault or anything else in another jurisdiction, nor could it for any other Australian.
There had been no hint of the US seeking his extradition from Sweden and if the Americans wanted to extradite him, they could probably do it more easily from the United Kingdom, the minister said.
