SUPPORTERS of Julian Assange will hold a picnic opposite Parliament today to mark the WikiLeaks founder’s 50th birthday.

There will be giant picnic blankets in Parliament Square stencilled with a Free Assange slogan, and the Australian’s partner Stella Moris will cut a birthday cake.

It will be the third birthday he has spent in London’s high-security Belmarsh prison.
