German and Spanish lawmakers protested against Julian Assange‘s detention on Monday, gathering outside a London prison to urge Britain and the EU to prevent his extradition to the United States.

Two leftist German MPs, Heike Hansel and Sevim Dagdelen of Die Linke, and a Spanish Green member of the European Parliament, Ana Miranda, had been due to meet their „friend“ Assange in London‘s Ecuadoran embassy later on Monday.
