A supporter of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange holds a placard at a demonstration outside the Ecuadorian Embassy in London on April 11, 2024, on the fifth anniversary of the arrest of Julian Assange by British police at the Embassy. On Thursday, WikiLeaks founder Assange will have spent five years in the high-security Belmarsh Prison in southeast London. The 52-year-old Australian Assange is currently waiting to learn if he can make a last-ditch appeal against extradition to the United States, after a UK court last month delayed a decision on his case. It is now expected on May 20. (Photo by BENJAMIN CREMEL / AFP)
