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
