Australia's parliament has passed a motion urging the US and UK to allow WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to return to Australia, marking a significant political move in his favor, with Barrister Jen Robinson noting "unprecedented political support". This development comes as Assange, who has spent 1775 days incarcerated at HMP Belmarsh, faces a crucial court hearing in the UK on February 20-21, concerning his potential extradition to the US on spying charges, where he is at risk of a 175-year sentence for publishing classified information. Assange's legal and health status has garnered widespread attention, with his wife warning that he might not survive extradition to the US. He is reportedly ill and unable to attend court. The case has sparked international debates on freedom of speech, press freedoms, and human rights, with protests planned in London to support Assange.
