LONDON - Hundreds of people including Roger Waters, co-founder of the Pink Floyd rock group, and designer Vivienne Westwood, marched through central London on Saturday demanding that jailed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange be released.
The 48-year-old, who spent seven years holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy before being dragged out last April, is wanted by the U.S. on 18 criminal counts of conspiring to hack government computers and violating an espionage law and could spend decades in prison if convicted. Shipton has said Assange’s long confinement indoors has damaged his health and fears that sending his son to the United States would be akin to a death sentence.
Assange has said his youngest child and the child’s mother are French but a previous asylum request was rejected by France in 2015.
