Julian Assange calls for support from Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard | Herald Sun

Julian Assange calls for support from Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard | Herald Sun: "WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange has called on Prime Minister Julia Gillard to put her foot down and offer him protection from the US government.

The whistleblower made the comments as he prepared to face a London court next week for the start of legal proceedings to have him extradited to Sweden on possible sexual assault charges.

Supporters claim the charges have been trumped up to silence him.

'Gillard needs to declare publicly that this is not an acceptable treatment of an Australian organisation. WikiLeaks is registered in Australia,' Mr Assange told the Seven Network."
