LONDON (Reuters) - Hundreds of people including Roger Waters, co-founder of the Pink Floyd rock group, and designer Vivienne Westwood, marched through central London on Saturday demanding that jailed Wikileaks founder Julian Assange be released.

The 48-year-old, who spent seven years holed up in Ecuador’s London embassy before being dragged out last April, is wanted by the U.S. on 18 criminal counts of conspiring to hack government computers and violating an espionage law and could spend decades in prison if convicted. Shipton has said Assange’s long confinement indoors has damaged his health and fears that sending his son to the United States would be akin to a death sentence.

Assange has said his youngest child and the child’s mother are French but a previous asylum request was rejected by France in 2015.

RogerWaters is a self-absorbed, egomaniacal anti Semite.

Pink Floyd sucks! I don't care what he says because his music is painful to hear. Until he apologizes for his shitty band he should stop talking.

Needs to stick to music

Who’s Roger Waters and Pink Floyd?

Roger must think the Jews are secretly holding Assange 🙄

oh shit ! Is this Richard Gere on crack !!!

Hacking government computers is not journalism, but since he did, can he find Trump's taxes, the American people want to see them. 😛

Is he against Brexit? If so, this is one major contradiction.

good god, Roger...what the hell

Ex-Pink Floyd...

Roger Waters always on the right side.

Wish you were beer

Este cara, depois de velho, virou BABACA.

pinkfloyd

Canceled

sometimes it is better not get old...

There are in mankind history jenious in one or two or three knowledge fields... or arts... but extremely rare are the genious who found a new musical world, write sublime poetry and come to be a civic hero. Thank you rogerwaters ♡♡♡☆

On a side note, I actually thought that was Richard Gere for a second 😳

PINK FUCK Suport all kind of socialism.

Did he get up and whine

whats the point when he is somewhere else? ;!

Please no

IfAssange shd go to jail 4 publicizing misdeeds byU.S. forces, so should editors atNYTimes, LeMonde, etc. who deliberately partnered w. him to release much of the same material. It's what Assange did to aid Putin in his covert interference to elect Trump that he deserves jail for

vault_code FreeAssange and hold America Accountable.

This all about Assange , but great Waters supports the protests FreeAssange

Just play your guitar and sing Roger.

One of the few great musicians not afraid to speak out against inhumanity and injustice.

Well he would, wouldn't he... anything to stay relevant...

He receives a salary in rubles.

I guess he's not comfortably numb anymore.

Waters has, Guilt for having too much wealth, yes ! Roger, give $ it all away...Put your money where your mouth is.

More context for all: 1. UK citizens are frightened by the US gutted intelligence community which has been in partnership with theirs since ww2

Stay clean there! Wash hands, avoid contact. But protest as free Asange already. Full acquittal. He's the good guy you idiots.

Idiots.

Have folks forgotten why Assange crawled into that embassy in 2012?

The guy who's done more acid than a copper mine is where I always seek out my opinions.

Oh bros 🤦‍♀️

Roger needs to be taken to an elderly house now.

😂😂😂

That definitely means he’s innocent!

Roger is unwelcome here

Ok. Is he out yet.

The primal fear reboot looks lit asf

Of course he did

Rocker Roger Waters defends Julian Assange, says 'ruling class' are behind WikiLeaks founder's imprisonmentThe Pink Floyd founder was scheduled to play a rally supporting the WikiLeaks founder to prevent his extradition to the U.S. Waters has been nuts for years. Even the other members of Pink Floyd thought he was an unbearable egocentric nutjob. He is an irrelevance. Putin isn’t part of the “ruling class”...? Putin is trying to be the ruler of the king of America. Little weasel Assange is his handmaiden. It’s not 1975 anymore, Roger.

Roger Stone moves to disqualify judge in last-ditch bid to avoid prisonRoger Stone moved Friday to disqualify the judge in his case, claiming her remarks at his sentencing rendered her unable to fairly rule on his bid for a new trial I hope he gets off. Totally biased from beginning. I’m not a lawyer but I was wondering if her words at sentencing might have an impact on this....new trial!!

Trump, saying he 'was prosecuted for covering up for the president.' No handcuffs?He gets to strut around in the stupid spy bs spy suit? Thank you, Judge Jackson.
