Ben Cohen Arrested Protesting Assange Prosecution

Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, was arrested outside the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. while protesting the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
Cohen believes the charges against Assange are an attack on press freedom and freedom of speech.
Cohen lit a "Freedom of the Press" sign on fire outside the DOJ building to protest Assange's imprisonment.
Assange is currently being held in Belmarsh Prison in London awaiting extradition to the U.S. where he faces 18 charges for releasing classified government documents.
Cohen and CODEPINK co-founder Jodie Evans were arrested for blocking the entrance to the DOJ building during the protest.
