Sydney WikiLeaks rally attracts hundreds

Hundreds of protestors drawn to a public rally at Town Hall in the central business district to protest WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's treatment.

on Dec 10 2010 2:36PM

A large sign fronting onto George Street in Sydney's CBD as protesters turned out in force to defend WikiLeaks.

A large crowd - estimated to be around 1,000 - was already in attendance when iTnews arrived.

A number of participants brought placards and banners pledging support for Assange and his cause.

Some implored Governments worldwide not to "shoot the messenger" over the release of 250,000 diplomatic cables.

There were some "angry geeks" among those in attendance.

Another rally participant waved a placard stating: "Only liars stop truth".

More creative placards at the Sydney protest at Town Hall - such as "Merry Xmas and a leaky New Year".

Another protestor urging Assange to be freed from British custody over sex crimes allegations in Sweden.

There was no shortage of support for WikiLeaks - nor was there a shortage of people to boo mentions of Paypal, Amazon, Mastercard and Visa.

Rally attendees call for Assange to presumed innocent.

An Anon stands back from the main body of the crowd.

Another message of solidarity from an attendee of the Sydney rally.

A not-so-subtle dig at US conservative Sarah Palin, who famously described Assange as "an un-American operative with blood on his hands".

A large crowd - estimated to be around 1,000 - was already in attendance when iTnews arrived.
