Assange asks to end US war on whistleblowers

Mr Assange spoke from the first floor balcony of the embassy and asked the U-S Government to give up its ‘witch-hunt” against WikiLeaks. The founder sought asylum with Ecuador after a British court ordered that he could be extradited to Sweden to face sexual assault accusations. Mr Assange has said the talk about prosecuting media organisations must stop and that the U-S war on whistle-blowers must end.
