Images from yesterday’s rally demanding the release of Julian Assange.
The protest marked 1 year of regular rallies at Sydney Town Hall since Assange was forcibly removed from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London by British authorities and tried for extradition to the USA on espionage charges. If found guilty, that could lead to 175 years imprisonment for the man that headed WikiLeaks, which uncovered evidence of torture and war crimes by US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Assange will hear the outcome of his trial on January the 4th next year.
The key speaker at yesterday’s rally was John Shipton, Assange’s father, who has tirelessly campaigned for his son’s release.
