He also answered the question whether he was surprised that the media, which previously published the WikiLeaks investigations, began to oppose Assange.

"I am not at all surprised by their desire to expel and destroy anyone whose opinion contradicts their opinion or really carries the truth," - said Shipton.

“The only way out for these people is to fix the situation, otherwise they will be completely disgraced,” he said.

Assange later filed a petition to appeal against the extradition court decision to the United States.
