A Facebook group has been created to draw attention to a pro-WikiLeaks protest on Saturday (January 15) outside the Vancouver Public Library Central branch.

The event is planned to take place between 2 p.m. and 5 p.m.

"Join with the Pirate Party of Canada and Pirate Parties around the world to demonstrate support for WikiLeaks, open government, freedom of the press, and freedom of speech," the Facebook page states. "Take a stand against calls to assassinate journalists and whistleblowers."

The page includes links to explain why WikiLeaks is a positive force in the world.

Another link takes people to the famous video of University of Calgary political science professor Tom Flanagan calling for WikiLeaks editor Julian Assange's assassination.

"We're going to be out front of the library with signs, eyepatches, whatever, In pursuit of the greater good," the pro-WikiLeaks Facebook page declares. "Get your hootin' and hollerin' faces on!"

Flanagan later apologized for his comments about assassinating Assange. The apology can be seen at 4:15 of the video below:
