German far-left MP Sevim Dagdelen has visited Julian Assange, who has been holed up at Ecuador's embassy in London since June, and afterwards expressed her solidarity with the WikiLeaks founder.
'I have sent solidarity regards to Julian Assange from the left in Germany and the online community in Germany,' said Dagdelen in a statement issued after the visit on Sunday.

Dagdelen added: 'Extraditing Mr Assange to Sweden, which would probably involve him being taken into custody, would trigger a chain of events that would hamper pre-emptive measures to stop him being extradited to other countries, specifically the US, where Mr Assange faces long-term imprisonment or possibly even the death penalty.'
The German MP said she would seek meetings with British and Swedish diplomats in Berlin in an attempt to find a solution to the standoff.
