Sputnik comes live from London where Julian Assange's supporters have formed a human chain around the UK Parliament, demanding that the WikiLeaks founder be freed and plans to extradite him to the US be cancelled. His wife Stella is expected to be among the protesters.
Assange is wanted by the US on charges of espionage after WikiLeaks published thousands of classified documents that shed light on war crimes committed by American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The WikiLeaks founder hid in the Ecuadorian embassy in London from June 2012 to avoid extradition. However, in April 2019, he was arrested by the UK authorities at Washington's request.
