After almost two years sporting a bright-orange “Guantanamo Bay prisoner suit” to protest the imprisonment of Julian Assange, Matt Ó Branáin has a wardrobe problem following the WikiLeaks founder’s release.
“I gave away most of my old clothes so I have to start again,” said the New Zealander, who had also donned a sign in the style of an old police mugshot chalkboard around his neck with Assange’s UK prisoner number scrawled on it. Bristol-based Ó Branáin, 44, moved from Auckland to the UK in 2022 to support Assange.
