According to RIA Novosti, 17 deputies spoke in support of the document, 31 - against.

The project was previously submitted by a group of deputies of the National Assembly, including Jennifer de Temmerman, Cédric Villani, Francois Ruffin and others.

Deputies in the accompanying documents to the draft resolution indicated that for more than ten years Assange has been subjected to political persecution by Washington.

On January 25, the London High Court allowed the lawyers of the founder of WikiLeaks to appeal to the UK Supreme Court a verdict allowing Assange's extradition to the United States.
