Next Wednesday the European supreme court will finally deliver its verdict on whether Wikileaks founder Julian Assange - who has now been detained under house arrest for over 500 days without any charge - should be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of rape and sexual assault.

Melbourne is Julian's home town - and as Australians, we are the only citizenry that can demand their government protect him.

Whatever the verdict, meet at the Department of Foreign Affairs & Trade Victorian Head Office at Casselden Place, 2 Lonsdale Street (corner of Spring Street) on Thursday and demand that the Australian Federal Government act to ensure justice for Assange.

There will be speakers between midday and 2pm.

The main rally will be at 4:30pm.

We aim to maintain a presence all afternoon - and into the night if the decision is bad.
