French team member Eric Dupont-Moretti said Assange's case placed at stake "the fate and the status of all journalists.
"We consider the situation is sufficiently serious that our duty is to talk about it" with French President Emmanuel Macron, the lawyer said
He was one of a team of lawyers lined up at a Paris news conference to explain why they view the case against Assange as unfair, citing his poor health and alleged violations of his rights while in jail in London.
