Exclusive: Leaked emails reveal Nigel Farage's long-standing links to Julian Assange.
.......... emails leaked to Business Insider reveal that UKIP under Farage's leadership had longstanding links to Assange.
In February 2011, after a European Arrest Warrant had been issued in a case in which prosecutors sought to question Assange in connection with a sexual assault allegation, UKIP repeatedly reached out to Assange to see how they could work together. Assange has not been charged in the case.
The office of UKIP MEP Gerard Batten contacted Assange's lawyer Mark Stephen's about "the possibility of meeting Mr Julian Assange."
They added: "So far, UKIP London has been only British political party to openly support Mr Assange fight against EAW and his freedom of speech, and we would very much like to continue doing so."

Leaked minutes of a subsequent meeting between UKIP MEP Gerard Batten and Assange's lawyer Mark Stephens reveal that Batten promised to table a motion in support of the Wikileaks founder in the European Parliament. The party also offered the opportunity of a joint video press conference in Brussels.
