Don't Extradite Assange!

Home Office, London. Tue 5 Nov 2019



 The wide pavement was crowded and there were people standing on the raised grass area in front of the Home Office

 with posters calling for Assange to be freed and not extradited

 

 People waved the glow sticks and chanted, but the event was slow to get started

 

 

 

 Protesters and speakers complained that the judge at Assange's hearing was biased as her husband, Lord Arbuthnot
 has close connections with the British armed forces and security services, whose criminal operations were exposed by WikiLeaks

 The crowd raise their glow sticks

 

 Julian Assange's father speaks

 

 Vivienne Westwood wears a mask to read her speech about Assange

 At each side of her were men holding up banners

 

 

 A friend of Assange talks about visiting him in Belmarsh Prison, where he is kept for long periods in isolation
 and his health has suffered.

 M. I. A. (Mathangi Arulpragasam) has also visited Assange at Belmarsh and calls for his release. When she sang

 most of the time she was bathed in flashing purple and green lights

 

 

 

 

I decided I'd had enough when she finished singing and went home
