AN UNPRECEDENTED show of support for Julian Assange is due this Saturday when protesters form a human chain that will surround Parliament. Parliament has never been surrounded in this way before and organisers intend the demonstration to send an unmistakable message to MPs and to the world’s press that Assange should be set free.
The initiative has sparked a global day of solidarity with protests also taking place from America to Australia.
The UK protest will form in front of the Palace of Westminster and stretch over Westminster Bridge, along the south bank of the Thames, and back over Lambeth Bridge.
