British police arrested WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange at the embassy in April after Ecuador withdrew his asylum after seven years.
LONDON - Former Baywatch star and now animal rights campaigner Pamela Anderson spoke emotionally after meeting WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in a London prison on Tuesday, warning that his life was in danger.
“We need to save his life. That’s how serious it is,” she said, adding: "We just have to keep fighting because it’s unfair. He’s sacrificed so much to bring the truth out." He had sought refuge there to escape extradition to Sweden where he had been accused of rape and sexual assault.
