The former Baywatch star, who used to visit the Australian-born journalist while he was holed up at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, is "deeply concerned" about him and his well-being, and told the network that "we're talking about saving somebody's life".
"Seeing him today for the first time… I just know that it's very urgent and it's really important that people know who he really is, and we don't allow him to be extradited because I don't believe that he will be safe in Americans' hands. We need to keep him in the public eye, we need to keep talking about it and we need to give as much support as we can for this person who has just trying to tell us the truth, the truth that we all deserve to know", she said.
Following her Tuesday visit to London's Belmarsh high security jail, where Assange is currently being held, Anderson, alongside WikiLeaks Editor-in-Chief Kristinn Hrafnsson, told reporters that Julian is an innocent person and does not deserve to be in a super-max prison.
