Fox News
A delegation of Australian politicians met with U.S. officials in Washington, D.C., to urge the U.S. government to end the prosecution of Julian Assange.
Assange's brother, Gabriel Shipton, joined the delegation in Washington for its meetings with U.S. officials.
The delegation brought a letter signed by more than 60 members of parliament calling on the U.S. to drop charges against Assange, who is fighting against extradition to the U.S., where he could be sentenced to up to 175 years in an American maximum-security prison.
