Solidarity Protest In Rome As Assange's US Extradition Case Deliberated At UK Court
People are protesting in front of the British embassy for the freedom of Julian Assange and against his extradition, holding banners and wearing masks depicting the journalist, in Rome, Italy, on February 20, 2024. The WikiLeaks founder is facing life imprisonment in the US for publishing thousands of classified military and diplomatic documents in 2010, provided by US military whistleblower Chelsea Manning. Assange received asylum in Ecuador from 2012 to 2019 due to political persecution. Since 2019, he has been detained in London's Belmarsh prison while the extradition process from the United States is ongoing. (Photo by Andrea Ronchini/NurPhoto)
