Posted On 20 Jun 2016
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange met Sunday four years as a refugee at the Embassy of Ecuador in London, a date marked with demonstrations in his support in several European capitals which were broadcast live on the Internet.
Several personalities like Patti Smith, Brian Eno, PJ Harvey, philosopher and activist Noam Chomsky, Greek former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, or filmmakers Michael Moore and Ken Loach, but also figures like fashion designer Vivienne Westwood showed their support to the 44 year-old “cyber warrior” with songs and speeches in European cities such as Athens, Paris, Milan, Berlin and Brussels.
“I’m usually very isolated here at the embassy,” Assange said in a video broadcast live. “I find it incredible to feel I have so much support,” he said in his speech, which was part of various acts of support for the activist.
