Julian Assange Fiance Stella Morris has recently made the international headlines regarding her statements on her partner’s US Extradition case. Here’s everything you need to know about the celebrity lawyer.
Stella Morris is the fiance of an Australian publisher, editor, and activist, Julian Paul Assange. Julian is the founder of the whistleblowing website WikiLeaks.
WikiLeaks has been the center of attention in the media since its launch in 2006. After the website published a series of sensitive Military footage and war logs in 2010, the US government launched a criminal investigation into Julian.
Assange is a wanted man in the US over 18 different criminal charges and has been confined in Belmarsh maximum-security prison in London since April 2019.
The US government fought the extradition case with the UK government and won the ruling on December 10, 2021. According to Stella’s lawyers, if Julian were to be convicted in the US, he could face a possible penalty of up to 175 years in jail.
So ashamed of the UK government and judicial system – tragic for #JulianAssange – and just one more symptom of the rotten / corrupt UK system we are all forced to endure. https://t.co/IWV7gdLu28
