MOTHER TO PICKET PRESIDENT OBAMA

With the visit of US President Barack Obama to Australia just a week away, one former Magnetic Island resident will picket the visit in a desperate attempt to seek the attention of Obama over the future of her son. She is Christine Assange and her son, WikiLeaks, whistle-blowing website founder, Julian Assange, is now in great danger of being extradited to the United States via Sweden ( see post below ). Christine recently wrote on a placard in front of PM Julia Gillard’s office in Melbourne, “Save Julian Assange from torture in prison, no extradition,” and she is looking for the support of readers to call on the Australian government to defend her son’s rights.
