US President Biden ‘considering’ dropping Assange charges
United States President Joe Biden says he is “considering” a request from Australia to drop the prosecution of Julian Assange.
The WikiLeaks founder has been indicted on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over his website’s publication of classified U.S. documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars almost 15 years ago.
The Australian national was taken to Belmarsh prison in London five years ago, after being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy, where he stayed while fighting against being taken to the US.

Jorge Glas, Ecuador's former vice president, has been hospitalised following a tumultuous incident involving his removal from Mexico's embassy in Quito, which sparked a diplomatic dispute. Reports indicate that Glas, who had refrained from eating for 24 hours while in prison, was subsequently transferred to the Guayaquil naval hospital after falling ill. According to the SNAI prison authorities, he is now in stable condition. Additionally, it was stated that the former official, who had been provided political asylum by Mexico and had resided in the embassy since December, following two corruption convictions by Ecuadorian courts, will continue to be under medical observation. He is expected to be returned to prison soon.
