    LONDON, June 25 (Reuters) - Stella Assange, the wife of WikiLeaks founder Julian, told Reuters on Tuesday they would seek a pardon after he pleaded guilty to violating U.S. espionage law, saying the prosecution was a "very serious concern" for journalists around the world.

    "The fact that there is a guilty plea, under the Espionage Act in relation to obtaining and disclosing National Defence information is obviously a very serious concern for journalists and national security journalists in general," she said.
