Wikileaks founder Julian Assange
SUPPORTERS of Julian Assange sailed past Parliament and the US embassy to demand the release of the WikiLeaks founder as he spends his 50th birthday in Belmarsh Prison.
Mr Assange was spared extradition to the US by a judge earlier this year, but he remains in the high security prison, where he has now spent three birthdays.
His partner and two children, along with supporters, launched a boat protest today to demand his release, sailing past the institutions involved in his incarceration.
