Labour Party says UK should oppose Assange extradition to US

Key figures in Britain's opposition Labour Party said Friday the government should oppose the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States.

Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said in a tweet that the U.S. is trying to extradite Assange because he exposed "evidence of atrocities in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Abbott said the US case against Assange is about the "embarrassment of the things he's revealed about the American military and security services."
