Pamela Anderson Visits Julian Assange in London Prison as He Fights Possible Extradition to U.S.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The actress Pamela Anderson visited Wikileaks founder Julian Assange at
the high-security Belmarsh Prison in London on Tuesday. Assange is
serving a 50-week prison sentence for skipping bail in Britain and faces
possible extradition to the United States to face charges related to the
Chelsea Manning leaks. Pamela Anderson spoke outside the prison after
seeing him.

Pamela Anderson: ''Obviously, it's been very difficult to see Julian
here and to make our way through the prison, to get to him was quite
shocking and difficult. He does not deserve to be in a supermax prison,
he has never committed a violent act, he is an innocent person. … He's
sacrificed so much to bring the truth out and we deserve the truth and
that's all I can say. I'm sorry I just feel sick. I feel nauseous."

Pamela Anderson was wearing a cloak covered with references to the
history of free speech in Britain as well as prisons, tyranny and the
Levellers.
