Actress Pamela Anderson visited Julian Assange in prison on Tuesday, telling reporters afterward that the WikiLeaks founder is innocent of the charges he faces.
Anderson said that Assange is an “incredible” man who is being mistreated by British authorities as he awaits possible extradition to the U.S. to face charges of aiding in the hack of a Pentagon computer.

“I love him, I can’t imagine what he’s been going through,” the former “Baywatch” star added.
Assange was arrested last month after spending years in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
The actress, who has been one of his staunchest public supporters, criticized both the Trump administration and the British government for Assange’s arrest last month in a pair of tweets.
“How could you UK. ? Of course – you are America’s bitch and you need a diversion from your idiotic Brexit bullshit,” she wrote, adding that she was “in shock.”
“And the USA ? This toxic coward of a President He needs to rally his base? – You are selfish and cruel. You have taken the entire world backwards,” Anderson added at the time.
