Pamela Anderson has visited Julian Assange in prison, draped in a cloak covered in writing.
Its not clear exactly what the words say, but it makes reference to free speech and Cromwell.
Speaking afterwards, the former Baywatch star said it was very difficult to see the WikiLeaks founder in HMP Belmarsh.
He does not deserve to be in a supermax prison, she said. He has never committed a violent act. He is an innocent person.
She revealed that he has no access to information, is really cut off from everybody and has not been able to speak to his children.
He is a good man, he is an incredible person. I love him, I cant imagine what he has been going through, Anderson added.

It was great to see him, but this is just misrule of law in operation. It is absolute shock that he has not been able to get out of his cell.
She was accompanied on the visit to Belmarsh Prison in south-east London by WikiLeaks editor Kristinn Hrafnsson.
Anderson has previously met Assange on several occasions when he lived at the Ecuadorean embassy in London.
Asked about the lengthy prison sentence Assange could face if he is extradited to the US, Anderson said: We need to save his life. Thats how serious it is.
Standing by her side, Hrafnsson added: It is a question of life and death – thats how serious it is.
After what he called their first social visit, Mr Hrafnsson said they were both quite emotional, adding that it was shocking to see his friend, a journalist and an intellectual, sitting in a high-security prison.
This is not justice. This is an abomination. Someone said that you could judge the civilisation of a society by visiting its prisons, he added.
Frankly, I have to say from my heart that this visit did not reflect well on the society here. This must end, this will be a fight.
