Julian Assange's partner,
Stella Morris, says she has had relationships with Julian Assange since 2015
and is now raising their two children on their own.
He revealed this after
concerns over the outbreak of the Corona virus in the Belmarish
jail. Assange was dragged out of Ecuadorian embassy about a year ago and
is being held in the Belmarish Prison.
Assange, a 48-year-old
Australian, is currently seeking bail in view of his health concerns.
His partner Stella Morris
was born in South Africa and is a lawyer by profession. She told the
British newspaper The Mail that she had brought her and Asanj's relationship to
the scene because Asanjee's life was in danger and Stella believed that she
would not survive if she was infected with the Corona virus.
In a video message posted
via WikiLeaks' YouTube account, Stella Morris said she met Julian Assange in
2011 when he joined the Wikileaks founder's legal team.
Stella said she used to
visit us at the embassy almost every day, and she knew them well. The
couple fell in love in 2015 and got engaged two years later.
He told The Mail that
Julian Assange had seen the birth of his sons through a video link and that the
boys would later visit the embassy to meet their father.
She says that
three-year-old Gabrielle and one-year-old Max talk to their father via video
calls.
Stella Morris said making a
family was a deliberate decision to think about the life behind her release by
removing the four walls of the prison around her.
"Many people thought
it was crazy to start a family in such situations, but for us it was a way to
keep our reality alive."
'It keeps me realistic and
when they see their children, they get satisfaction and support. They are
happy children too. '
Remember that Assange took
refuge in the Ecuadorian embassy in London in 2012 to avoid a case of sexual
abuse in Sweden. That case has now been dismissed.
Julian Assange is also
currently facing extradition requests to the United States on charges of
espionage.
Julian Assange was forcibly
removed from the Ecuadorian embassy on April 11, 2019 and was sentenced to
almost a year in prison for violating his bail conditions.
He was scheduled to be
released from prison last September, but a local court decided that he should
be kept in jail until the case was decided to extradite him to Sweden.
Julian Assange has more
children too, but there are not many details about them. One of his sons
is reportedly a software designer in Australia.
