Last week on the four-year anniversary of WikiLeaks founder's imprisonment in UK's high security prison politicians across the globe sent an open letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland calling on him to drop the unprecedented charges against Julian Assange.

U.S. policymakers cosigned a letter lead by Michigan Representative Rashida Tlaib and joined by New York Reps Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Texas Rep. Greg Casar, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush.

“The prosecution of Julian Assange for carrying out journalistic activities greatly diminishes America’s credibility as a defender of these values, undermining the United States’ moral standing on the world stage, and effectively granting cover to authoritarian governments who can (and do) point to Assange’s prosecution to reject evidence-based criticisms of their human rights records and as a precedent that justifies the criminalization of reporting on their activities,” the lawmakers wrote.

Richard Burgon MP who organised the UK letter said: “British Parliamentarians are increasingly alarmed by the potential extradition of Julian Assange to the United States. Any extradition would, in effect, be putting press freedom on trial. It would set a dangerous precedent for journalists and publishers around the world. Four years on since Julian Assange was first detained in Belmarsh High-Security prison, now is the right moment to draw a line under this outrageous prosecution initiated by the Trump Administration, drop the charges against Julian Assange and allow him to return home to Australia.”

"The 48 Australian federal parliamentarians who put their name to the formal letter of concern, in concert with similar letters from parliamentarians from around the world, represents millions of constituents. This is no small matter and must not be dismissed." Andrew Wilkie MP, Independent Member for Clark in the Australian Federal Parliament said.

97 Mexican lawmakers joined calls urging the US to cease it prosecution of WikiLeaks journalist and publisher Julian Assange emphasizing the global implications in this case.

Almost 100 Brazilian parliamentarians signed the letter to US President Joe Biden citing chilling precedent that extradition would set for other journalists and publishers around the world.
