However, it appears from her statements about him that she would have every reason to go against her wishes for him.
She is one of two women who, fourteen years ago, accused the founder of WikiLeaks of sexual assault.
The claims, which Assange has consistently refuted, were shocking and garnered international media attention. They started a series of events that led him to attempt, for seven years, to evade extradition to Sweden by requesting asylum in an embassy in London.
The Swedish police concluded their investigation in 2019. Nevertheless, he fought extradition to the US, where he would have been prosecuted for major disclosures of classified material, and spent the following five years in a British prison.
These include records indicating the US military killed hundreds of people in Afghanistan in undisclosed events and US army footage depicting civilian deaths in Iraq.
Finally, last month, Assange was set free following a plea agreement with the US.
Ardin fervently cherishes Assange’s contributions to WikiLeaks and maintains that they never ought to have resulted in his imprisonment.
She asserts, “We have a right to know about the wars that are fought in our name.”
“I genuinely rejoice for him and his family, that they are reunited. His punishment has been incredibly out of proportion.
