Assange calls for the release of Bradley Manning, the alleged WikiLeaks source, describing him as one of the world's foremost political prisoners.
He goes on to refer to the jailing in Russia of members the feminist punk band, Pussy Riot.
"There is unity in the oppression. There must be absolute unity and determination in the response," adds Assange.

Assange thanks Ecuador, its president and names various other Latin American states that have backed it in recent days.
He also addresses the US people and its government, saying to President Obama that the United States must stop its "witchhunt" against wikileaks.
"There must be no more foolish talk about prosecuting any media organisation, be it Wikileaks or the New York Times."
"The US war on whistleblowers must end"
