Lawyers for Julian Assange say they are open to a plea bargain to secure the Wikileaks’ founder’s freedom, likening it to the precedent established following political pressure that ended one-time militant David Hicks’ incarceration.
Speaking at the National Press Club on Monday, lawyer Jennifer Robinson and Mr Assange’s wife, Stella, urged a “political solution” be struck between the US and Australian governments to end the long-running prosecution.
