Anderson and Assange

BAYWATCH babe Pamela Anderson today delivered a veggie pack-lunch to WikiLeaks founder and friend Julian Assange, who remains under 'house arrest' in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

Ms Anderson was pictured outside the embassy carrying a hamper of goodies for the controversial Australian journalist, including vegetarian burgers and a bowl of fruit.

Assange has been living in the embassy for four years after he was granted political asylum by Ecuador.

He is due to be questioned over sexual assault allegations in Sweden - which he denies - but fears if he leaves he will be extradited to the United States for his involvement in WikiLeaks campaigns.

Pamela was introduced to Assange by Vivienne Westwood in August 2014, and sought advice from him about her new animal rights charity.

Since then she has visited him in his embassy 'cell' multiple times - often bringing bags of snacks with her.

The former Baywatch star said: "I really believe in him and think he's a good person, and I'm concerned about his health, his family, and I just hope that by some miracle he's set free."

In October the 49-year-old animal rights activist dropped off Pret-A-Manger bag full of food for the isolated computer wiz.

She said: "I brought him a nice vegan lunch and some vegan snacks." She then joked: "He said I tortured him with bringing him vegan food".

Pamela set up The Pamela Anderson Foundation at the start of 2014 to help environmental causes and to protect vulnerable people and animals.

She has also campaigned to raise awareness for organisations such as PETA and Mercy For Animals, and joined initiatives to protect the Arctic, combat deforestation and condemn the force feeding of ducks and geese in the production of foie gras.

Assange has recently come under fire for WikiLeaks' heavy involvement in the US election.

Critics berated the controversial character for allegedly helping Trump to power by exposing thousands of shady emails sent by his rival Hillary Clinton.

In a statement, Assange claimed releasing the emails was bound to attract criticism but was ultimately better for the public.

He said: "WikiLeaks remains committed to publishing information that informs the public, even if many, especially those in power, would prefer not to see it.

"WikiLeaks must publish. It must publish and be damned."
