Veteran fashion designer and activist Vivienne Westwood shows support for Julian Assange

Dressed in a canary yellow outfit, the fashion designer and activist led protesters who chanted “Free Julian Assange” outside London’s Central Criminal Court. Assange is in London's Belmarsh Prison awaiting a full extradition hearing, which has been postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. Originally due to begin in May, it is now scheduled to start on September 7 at the Old Bailey.
