Westwood was a longtime supporter of Julian Assange and called for his release from custody.[72] In 2012, she used her appearances at London Fashion Week to push for his release by presenting "I am Julian Assange" t-shirts.[73] She visited him several times during his political asylum at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and in Belmarsh Prison after his arrest in April 2019.[74] In July 2020, she protested outside London's Old Bailey court against Assange's possible extradition to the United States by wearing a yellow pantsuit and suspending herself in a giant birdcage. Describing herself as the canary in the coal mine, she said she was "half-poisoned already from government corruption of law and gaming of the legal system by government".[75]
