The Don’t Extradite Assange Campaign is launching the first ever virtual political rally with Wistaverse aimed at preventing the WikiLeaks founder from being sent to the US prison.
The event will be staged in a virtual auditorium looking like the Royal Courts of Justice in London where Assange is set to face his final appeal in the UK court system. The rally aims to build for a real life protest at the same venue when the court date is announced.
Each individual attendee will be represented by an avatar which can interact with other attendees, hear speeches and watch other material inside the virtual rally. Speech will include a prerecorded talk by Julian Assange himself, his wife Stella Assange, Kristinn Hrafnsson, the editor in chief of WikiLeaks, and other guests.

The virtual rally will take place on Saturday 26 August at 5pm BST, participants can stay online over the weekend.
