Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has reiterated his call for the release of Julian Assange from a British top security prison, where the WikiLeaks founder has been held for over five years.

An Australian citizen, Assange is facing a US extradition request related to his cooperation with whistleblower Chelsea Manning.

On Monday, Assange’s defense secured a legal victory as the High Court in London granted a new appeal against the 2021 decision to extradite him to the US.

Speaking in Sydney, Albanese stated there is 'nothing to be served' by Assange’s ongoing incarceration and vowed to 'work closely' to achieve his release.

Assange’s legal team is concerned he may face severe isolation in US custody.

Arrested in 2019 after Ecuador revoked his asylum, Assange faces possible life imprisonment if convicted under the US Espionage Act.

In February, the Australian parliament passed a resolution calling for Assange’s repatriation, signaling support from Albanese and other MPs.
