Anderson has supported a petition calling on the UK government to not extradite Assange to the United States.
Assange, who was arrested in the UK capital on 11 April, was sentenced to 50 weeks in jail last week for jumping bail back in 2012, when he took refuge inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden on sexual assault charges, which have since been dropped.
Following Assange's arrest, Washington called for his extradition to the US. Assange is accused of conspiring to commit computer intrusion. WikiLeaks, for its part, said the United States wants to build an espionage case against Assange that could entail capital punishment or life imprisonment.
