Stop witch-hunt: Assange to Obama

Asking the Obama administration to stop “witch-hunt”, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange today made his first public appearance in two months, on the balcony of Ecuador’s London embassy.

Thanking his supporters and especially Ecuador, which has granted him diplomatic asylum despite threats from the UK, Assange asked US President Barack Obama to “to stop witch-hunt against WikiLeaks”.

“I ask President Obama to do the right thing, the United States must renounce its witch-hunt against WikiLeaks,” he said.
