BAYWATCH star Pamela Anderson has launched a new bid to help her friend Julian Assange - by enlisting the help of weirdo rapper Kanye West.

She hopes Kim Kardashian's husband can use his global fame and "bromance" with Donald Trump to drum up support, Fox News reports.

The fugitive Wikileaks founder has been hiding from police in Ecuador's embassy in London for nearly six years to dodge being extradited to Sweden on rape charges.

While there he has struck up a close friendship with Pammie, who has visited him at the embassy and is one of his greatest advocates.

According to a bizarre letter obtained by TMZ, she hopes to convince Kanye to use his celebrity and massive following on social media to drum up support in the United States.

Pammie, 50, told Kanye: "I support him and I know you value Free Speech.

“Visibility is good for him especially in America.

"Where they are trying to put him away for life or worse for exposing corruption in governments.

"I think they are trying to kill him. It is Torture.”

The actress went on: “He is genius. A real world leader that young people love.

“So, I want to seek more voices and share more about his fight. Public support could set him free.

"Media is monopolised So some brave voices are the only Hope to break through.”

She also appealed to West’s ego, telling him that she respects his “no filter,” approach to public life.

'He is a genius': Pammie's plea for Yeezy's help Here is the full text of Pamela Anderson's letter to Kanye West, seen by TMZ. Hi Kanye-

Hope you are well

I was wondering about your thoughts on Julian Assange.

I support him and I know you value

Free Speech -

Visibility is good for him especially in America.

Where they are trying to put him away for life or worse

for exposing corruption in governments.

I think they are trying to kill him.

It is Torture -

He’s been locked in a small room for almost 6 years in London at the

Ecuadorian Embassy.

And He now can have no visitors. No Phone calls or internet.

They are squeezing him.

He is genius.

A real world leader that young people love.

So

I want to seek more voices and

share more about his fight.

Public support could set him free.

Media is monopolized

So some brave voices are the only

Hope to break through.

I’ve always supported your ‘no filter’ -

you speak your mind.

And

you make an impact.

I’m sure a lot of people feel like you

They just are stuck in what

society says is OK to say.

If you want to know more about Julian

Let me know

Or just look at his life and writing.

How he has sacrificed

for the truth.

I think you’d admire him.

Take care of you

❤,

Pamela

PS

Thank you Kim (@kimkardashian) for going #FurFree

Kanye, 40, has faced fierce criticism from fans and other music industry figures for his public support for the US President.

He has been pictured wearing a campaign "Make America Great Again" baseball cap and called Mr Trump "my brother".

His bizarre behaviour continued as he admitted to an opiod addiction following liposuction surgery and said that he believes slavery was a "choice" for those in captivity.

Assange, 46, is said to fear he would be extradited to the US if he leaves the embassy, where he claimed political asylum in July 2012.

Watching his hideout has cost the Met police more than £15million since.

The CIA has determined Wikileaks co-ordinated with Russian intelligence to release hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 election campaign.

US Attorney-General Jeff Sessions has said in the past that the Justice Department considers arresting Assange a priority.
