Australian Government Refuses Assange's Urgent
Request for Representations, 2 months later
All 16 requests for assistance are refused in full
On 28 May 2012, Julian Assange's UK solicitor,
human rights lawyer Gareth Peirce (Birnberg
Peirce and Partners) sent a letter addressed to
the Australian government stating what type of
assistance Julian Assange required from his government.
On 19 July 2012, almost two months later, the
government made its position clear: Australia
refuses to make representations on Mr. Assange's
behalf in any manner whatsoever.
The Australian government took almost two months
to respond to Ms. Peirce's letter, despite her
insistence that the matter was urgent, and her
making it clear that Mr. Assange's due process
rights were being violated, and are being
violated, in the absence of the Australian government's representations.
Not only does Australia fail to make
representations that are perfectly appropriate
and customary - they explicitly refuse to do so.
