WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's right to a fair trial has "now been tainted, if not destroyed", an attorney representing the plaintiffs said.Lawyers for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange sued the US Central Intelligence Agency and its former director Mike Pompeo on Monday, alleging it recorded their conversations and copied data from their phones and computers.
Mr Assange is facing extradition from Britain to the US, where he is charged with violating the US Espionage Act by publishing US military and diplomatic files in 2010 related to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. "There should be sanctions, even up to dismissal of those charges, or withdrawal of an extradition request in response to these blatantly unconstitutional activities," he said.
The suit named the CIA, former CIA director and former US secretary of state Mr Pompeo, and the security firm Undercover Global and its chief executive David Morales Guillen.Prominent Australians have rallied in Sydney for Julian Assange. What's the latest on his case? The suit said that Spain-based Undercover Global was recruited to work with the CIA in 2017 by officials from the Las Vegas Sands casino group.
