An Amnesty International rally in support of Julian Assange , calling for him to be" brought home" to Magnetic Island, is to be held on the Picnic Bay Jetty ,3pm this Saturday .
There are strong supporters of Assange on the island, where he once lived, as this 2012 photograph shows , some of whom have written to him while imprisoned in London.
In Darwin, veteran activist and civil rights campaigner , Robert Wesley-Smith, calling for the Australian government to make strong representations on behalf of Assange, was snapped next to his car bearing a free Julian Assange sticker. He is using his considerable network to spread the call for action.
