02:37Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on Sunday, demanding the release of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, a few days after the 4th anniversary of his detention.
Footage shows demonstrators outside the embassy holding signs such as 'Free Julian Assange Now' and 'Stop Killing Julian Assange'.
"I am fed up with that corrupt government that is trying to kill people who tell the truth, which is basically what is happening with a man in England, being illegally locked up, no charge, no sentence, no conviction. And he is dying in prison because all he has done was to tell the truth," said a protester. "So shame that people don’t like that truth, but the truth is the truth, and you can’t get away from it."
Assange is currently incarcerated in a British prison on charges of espionage after publishing thousands of leaked military and diplomatic documents exposing US war crimes.
"I am here for Julian Assange because we must not forget Julian Assange. Yes. And I really do all I can to remind those around me. In fact I am part of the 'Free Assange Belgium' Committee'," a second protester said.
Julian Assange remains in the UK’s Belmarsh Prison, as his team continues to fight extradition. He faces 175 years in jail if convicted of espionage. Former British Home Secretary Priti Patel approved Assange's extradition in June, while Assange’s lawyers have appealed to the High Court.
