Hundreds rally for WikiLeaks founder

More than 250 people have gathered in Brisbane at a demonstration in support of
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Many are holding pictures of Assange in front of their faces as speakers told the
crowd "we are all Julian Assange".
A message from Britain-based Australian journalist John Pilger was read to the crowd
in support of the demonstration.
Mr Pilger said: "The defence of Julian Assange is one of the most important issues
of my lifetime."
He described Mr Assange's arrest on sex charges as a stunt to silence him.
Rally organiser Jessica Payne said: "We're here to defend WikiLeaks, to defend our
right to freedom of information, to defend our right to know what our elected
representatives are up to.
"We are all Assange, and if they want to take down Assange, they have to take down
all of us."
