Madrid, July 29 (RHC)-- A lawyer for WikiLeaks says that the United States is preparing to bring more charges against Julian Assange, who already faces up to 175 years in prison on espionage and hacking charges.  Assange is currently facing an extradition trial in London. 

His lawyer, former Spanish Judge Baltasar Garzón, told reporters in Madrid: “Julian Assange has been the subject of political persecution in which all of the rules of due process have been broken, false evidence has been used, illegal evidence has been used, and the procedure in the United States has been totally contaminated as a result.”
