Julian Assange’s Mother Speaks Out
----------------------------------



Julian Assange’s mother has spoken out in defense of her son. Christine
Assange has traveled to London in an attempt to visit Julian in jail.

Christine Assange: "It’s a worry, of course. You know, I’m no different
to any other mother. You know, every time the news goes on, I’m sort of
glued to it. 'Is he OK?' And these massive forces have decided they’re
going to stop him, and they’re not going to play by the rules."

Christine Assange defended Julian’s actions and called on Wiki Leaks
supporters to defend their rights.

Christine Assange: "Don’t take your freedoms for granted, or you’ll lose
them. They were hard fought for. People lost their lives, over and over
again. And if we don’t protect them, we’ll lose them, and next time it
could be your son or your daughter."
