WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s mother, Christine Assange, has broken her silence and Breaking Celebrity News has obtained video footage of her plea to the world to “stand up for my brave son.”

Inside The WikiLeaks Scandal: Who Is Julian Assange?

The controversial Australian was taken into custody last week at a London prison after surrendering to Scotland Yard police in connection with a sex-crime investigation in Sweden.

The 39-year-old’s mother flew out to London while her son was in jail and according to Reuters.com had a phone conversation with him just hours before his bail hearing.

“I can’t put it into words. I’m connected back with him again, I’ve got the connection,” Christine said of her conversation with Julian.

“As a mother, I’m asking the world to stand up for my brave son.”
