Westwood walked out on stage wearing a paper halo with Assange written on it, before saying she was the “angel of democracy”.

Supporter Sinthia Surace, 22, whose family were victims of the Sri Lanka civil war, said: “It took a lot of brave people to expose all the crimes impacting my community directly. That’s why I care about voices like Julian’s.”
