JULIAN ASSANGE’S trial resumed earlier this month. The Wikileaks founder was rearrested in the court’s cells two weeks ago over 18 new charges and now faces a potential 175-year jail term if it is ruled that he can be extradited to the US.

Among the protesters was Dame Vivienne Westwood, who has shown long-term, determined support for Assange — even leading a protest back in July from a cage, dressed as a canary.
