Julian Assange
THE third anniversary of the arrest and incarceration of Julian Assange at a maximum-security prison has sparked protests in London and the United States.
Tomorrow marks three years since the Wikileaks founder was forcibly dragged from the Ecuadorian embassy, where he had sought asylum over the previous seven years.
Vigils were due to be held yesterday at the embassy, Westminster magistrates’ court and Belmarsh prison, where he has been held for the past three years.
