Julian Assange gets married at Belmarsh Prison

Westwood also designed a kilt for Assange, whose parents are of Scottish heritage. The couple are paying for the ceremony, and instead of sending gifts, they have suggested supporters donate to the new official Crowdfunder campaign, sponsor a park bench or similar in their area, and put up posters calling for Assange to be freed. A Prison Service spokesperson said: “All weddings in prisons must meet the requirements outlined in the Prison Service policy.” The service said photography for weddings in prisons is facilitated by prison staff, in line with “established national policy on photographing prisoners”, adding: “The relevant policy makes clear the governor can block images being taken if it is believed they will be shared publicly, which can compromise prison security. Accordingly, photos will be taken by prison staff.”
