The Defend Assange Campaign, a legal campaign to defend Assange, said Julian has been nominated for a 2019 Nobel Peace Prize.

The Defend Assange Campaign tweeted a photo of Assange next to a Nobel coin on Monday.

Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, has been apparently nominated by 1976 Nobel Peace Laureate Mairead Maguire.

Maguire, who won for her work promoting peace in Northern Ireland during that country’s religious clashes, wrote in the Irish Examiner of her decision to nominate Assange saying that he met all criteria for the Nobel peace prize.

This year, there are a total of 304 candidates nominated for the prize.

Assange has been living at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012.
