CAMPAIGNERS calling for the release of Julian Assange will stage events on Wednesday to mark the 1,000 days that the WikiLeaks founder has spent in prison.
His supporters will gather outside Belmarsh prison in south-east London, where he is being held as the United States continues to attempt to extradite him.
His fiancee Stella Moris renewed her call for his release, noting that he has spent longer in Belmarsh than many prisoners sentenced for violent crimes.
