London | The federal government says it will continue to offer consular assistance to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange after the United Kingdom’s decision that his extradition to the United States can proceed.

“We will continue to convey our expectations that Mr Assange is entitled to due process, humane and fair treatment, access to proper medical care, and access to his legal team,” a statement late on Friday night from Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong and Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus said.
