The third anniversary of the arrest and incarceration of Julian Assange at a maximum-security prison has sparked protests in London and the United States.

Tomorrow marks three years since the Wikileaks founder was forcibly dragged from the Ecuadorian embassy, where he had sought asylum over the previous seven years.

Vigils were due to be held yesterday at the embassy, Westminster magistrates’ court and Belmarsh prison, where he has been held for the past three years.

Mr Assange’s family, friends and supporters are calling for his release and the US to drop its extradition case against him.

Protests are also planned today in Washington DC outside the British embassy and the Department of Justice offices.
