Adam Whittington supporters protest Nine in Syd & Bris

A small band of supporters for Adam Whittington yesterday held rallies outside Nine studios in Sydney and Brisbane.

Whittington is still behind bars in Beirut, awaiting the outcome of the 60 Minutes saga that has enveloped Nine.

Protesters, including Whittington’s parents, held placards and banners outside Nine’s gates in Willoughby, with a second group at Mt Coot-tha.

Nine helped secure the release of its 60 Minutes crew and mother Sally Faulkner but a Nine spokeswoman as previously said Whittington, who travelled to Lebanon on a UK passport, was being supported by British embassy officials in Lebanon and a local lawyer.
