Activists In Mexico Support Julian Assange
Activists in Mexico City demonstrated outside the United Kingdom Embassy in Mexico City, Mexico, on January 5, 2021 after a British court on Monday rejected the extradition to the United States of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, accused by that country of alleged espionage and computer intrusion, considering that it would be detrimental to their mental health. After learning of the denial of the extradition request in the United Kingdom, on Monday Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador announced that he would offer Assange political asylum.
