Protesters demand release of Assange
http://www.news.com.au/breaking-news/protesters-demand-release-of-assange/story-e6frfku0-1225972329726

ABOUT 200 people gathered in Canberra's city centre to demand the release of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.

The speaker of the ACT Legislative Assembly, Greens MLA Shane Rattenbury, told protesters Julian Assange and WikiLeaks have severely embarrassed governments around the world.

"Simply being embarrassed is not a good reason to undermine fundamental rights," he said.

"Rights like the presumption of innocence and the rule of law must prevail for all citizens all of the time - not just when it suits our governments."
