“On behalf of the leftist faction, I demand that the UK government stop all these extradition procedures for Julian Assange to the United States.
And I appeal to immediately release him from custody, ”said the deputy.
In addition, Hansel called for an end to the "ongoing psychological pressure" on Assange and to provide him with immediate access to medical care from independent doctors in a hospital setting.
“I call on the German government to distance itself from these US attacks on journalism, press, freedom and democracy and to offer Julian Assange political asylum in Germany or the EU.
And finally, I ask my government: if the German authorities can bring Russian Alexei Navalny to the Charite in Berlin, why don't they offer the same to Julian Assange, who is seriously ill? "
She added.
On September 7, the second phase of the hearings on Assange's extradition to the United States began in a British court.
The United States Department of Justice has filed 18 charges against Assange.
Collectively, he faces up to 175 years in prison.
Assange's prosecution began in 2010 after WikiLeaks published classified Pentagon materials on US military crimes in the Middle East.
Incidents such as the shooting of civilians by a US military helicopter in Baghdad in 2007, as well as numerous casualties among Iraqi civilians as a result of negligent actions of the US Air Force, were made public.
