LONDON Wikileaks founder Julian Assange on Sunday spoke from the balcony of the Ecuadorian embassy in London where he has been holed up for two months. “I ask (U.S.) President (Barack) Obama to do the right thing. The U.S. must renounce its witch hunt against Wikileaks. The United States must pledge before the world that it will not pursue journalists for shining a light on the secret crimes of the powerful,” said the 41-year-old.
