Julian Assange's mother has called for her son's release from prison, condemning his "brutal and illegal" arrest.
In a tweet, Christine Assange announced a hellish fight for the release of her son, the founder of WikiLeaks, reports RTS.
"Please be careful, gentle and kind to him," she asked police and court staff.
Christine Assange criticized Prime Minister Theresa May on Twitter for trying to divert attention from Brexit by arresting her son, who she says is a brave, tortured and multiple award-winning journalist.
The founder of "WikiLeaks" is threatened with extradition to the United States and five years in prison, after Ecuador revoked his asylum yesterday, and the London police arrested him, the Guardian writes..
Julian Assange, a citizen of Australia, will receive consular assistance, but without any "special treatment", said Prime Minister of that country Scott Morrison.
An Interpol warrant for Assange was issued on November 30, 2010, and on December 7, the British arrested him based on Sweden's request. In that country he was charged with alleged offenses of a sexual nature.
Assange has been in the Embassy of Ecuador in London since 2012.
