The leader of the Labor Party in Great Britain, Jeremy Corbyn, said that the government of that country should not extradite the founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, to the United States of America (USA), the BBC reports.
Corbyn said Assange should not be extradited "to reveal atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan".
In his tweet, he also published the Pentagon's video of an airstrike published by WikiLeaks in 2007, which shows US forces killing civilians and journalists.
Assange (47) was arrested yesterday at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, after the Ecuadorian government revoked his asylum.
The United States is looking for Assange for publishing tens of thousands of secret government documents via Wikileaks.
The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that it charged Assange with conspiring with former US military intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to break into a government computer with classified information.
Assange is accused of helping Manning crack a computer code that allowed her to break into the Pentagon's computer system.
A court in London yesterday ruled that Assange was guilty of breaching bail conditions in Great Britain. Based on that conviction, Assange faces up to 12 months in prison.
Assange pleaded not guilty in court.
Assange has been in the Ecuadorian embassy since 2012, in order to avoid extradition to Sweden, which accuses him of sexual abuse.
Assange denies the allegations and fears that Sweden will hand him over to US authorities to face US charges of leaking military and diplomatic documents.
