Earlier this week, a number of Australian lawmakers lashed out at a London court's decision to allow the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the US, with Amnesty International slamming the move as a "travesty of justice".
The Australian government has demonstrated mixed reactions to MPs' calls to intervene in order to secure Julian Assange's freedom in the wake of a London court's move to rule in favor of a US appeal to extradite the WikiLeaks founder to America.
A spokesperson for the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said on Sunday that they were "monitoring Mr. Assange's case closely, as we do for other Australians detained and subject to court proceedings overseas".
