Australian Labor leader criticises Assange’s imprisonment, privately
At a closed-door meeting of his party’s parliamentary caucus last Tuesday, federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese was reportedly asked by a colleague to give his opinion on the ongoing incarceration of WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange, who is detained in London’s maximum-security Belmarsh Prison.
“Enough is enough,” Albanese is said to have responded. “I don’t have sympathy for many of his actions, but essentially I can’t see what is served by keeping him incarcerated.”
The comments were immediately leaked to the press and reported by several corporate outlets the next day. “Anthony Albanese calls for Assange to be released,” read one headline. Another widely syndicated article by the Australian Associated Press, shared by the official WikiLeaks Twitter account, proclaimed: “Labor leader wants Julian Assange freed.”
