Assange's mother says Rudd is all talk

SOURCE: SBS News / AAP


Julian Assange's mother Christine has demanded action, not just talk, from Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd.

Ms Assange hand-delivered an eight-page handwritten letter to Mr Rudd's Brisbane electorate office on Friday evening, also reading it to journalists.

While she spared some praise for Mr Rudd for his words in support of her son, Wikileaks founder Julian, she said he had failed to act on them.

Julian Assange awarded Sydney peace medal

In the estimation of the Sydney Peace Foundation, Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange stands alongside the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela.

As he outrages and embarrasses world leaders by leaking secret US diplomatic cables - and continues to face down allegations of sex offences - Mr Assange has been chosen by the foundation to receive a rare gold medal for peace with justice.
