Today, I spoke outside of Belmarsh Prison, where Julian Assange is being unjustly kept in solitary confinement despite his jail sentence having ended, to deliver a simple message: #FreeJulianAssange!

It was also a real honour to meet John Shipton, Julian Assange’s father. I expressed my ongoing solidarity and support for his family.

It was heart-warming to see him presented with the annual Gavin MacFadyen award on Julian’s behalf.

Yesterday, I wrote to the Home Secretary to outline why Julian’s ongoing detention is unjust and to reiterate the point that the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has been making for years, in requesting that Julian Assange be freed.
