Christine Assange, the mother of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, is putting more pressure on the Australian government to take up her son's case.
She says she will highlight the injustices of his case in front of Foreign Affairs Minister Kevin Rudd's office in Brisbane on Friday.
Christine Assange says her son has enormous support in Queensland, his home state.
A hearing is underway in London to determine whether Mr Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face the sexual misconduct allegations.
Mr Assange denies the allegations against him, and says they are politically motivated.
His lawyers say extradition to Sweden could be a stepping stone to extradition to the US, where he could face execution for leaking state secrets.
