Fiancée of Julian Assange Reveals Couple Have 2 Children, Calls for His Release
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The partner of Julian Assange is calling on British authorities to
release the Wiki Leaks founder over fears of coronavirus infection, as
she reveals the pair had two children together and got engaged while
Assange was taking refuge in the Ecuadorian Embassy. In a video released
by Wiki Leaks, lawyer Stella Moris says she met Assange when she started
helping with his extradition case. He faces up to 175 years in prison
for his role in publishing U.S. classified documents exposing U.S. war
crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan. Assange is currently locked up at
London's Belmarsh prison for bail violations and is scheduled to face
extradition hearings next month.
