Julian Assange suffers setback during first day of extradition hearing
By Latika Bourke
September 8, 2020

London: Julian Assange's legal team tried, but failed, to adjourn the extradition hearing for the WikiLeaks founder until after the US presidential election at a court hearing in London on Monday.

Assange appeared at his long-delayed hearing wearing a dark suit, light-coloured business shirt and tie, he was clean-shaven and his white hair was neatly cut. He sat behind a glass pane to watch proceedings.

It was the first time he had been seen in a courtroom since February; his image was a stark contrast from his dishevelled, bearded appearance in April 2019, when he was dragged into a prison van after being arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in Knightsbridge. Assange had been living there since seeking political refuge in 2012 to avoid facing sexual assault charges in Sweden.

When asked if he consented to be extradited to the United States, where he is accused of 18 counts of violating the Espionage Act stemming from WikiLeaks' publication of classified military and diplomatic cables in 2010, Assange paused before responding: "No."

Possible Trump Pardon Overshadows Assange Extradition Ruling
By Ellen Milligan
December 31, 2020, 6:00 PM GMT+13 Updated on January 1, 2021, 12:57 AM GMT+13

    Assange faces U.K. ruling on U.S. extradition request Monday
    WikiLeaks founder may have better chance of getting a pardon


A U.K. judge will rule Monday on whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be extradited to the U.S. to face criminal charges after weeks of talk about a possible pardon from Donald Trump.

The decision from a London judge will come after President Trump, whose administration brought the charges, issued a plethora of pardons to political allies. And lawyers say the odds of clemency from Trump are better than a judge buying Assange’s arguments that his human rights will be trampled on in America.

UK judge refuses US extradition request of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
Jill Lawless00:26, Jan 05 2021

A British judge has rejected the United States' request to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to face espionage charges, saying it would be “oppressive'' because of his mental health.

District Judge Vanessa Baraitser said Monday Assange was likely to commit suicide if sent to the US

The US government said it would appeal the decision.

US prosecutors have indicted Assange on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over WikiLeaks' publication of leaked military and diplomatic documents a decade ago. The charges carry a maximum sentence of 175 years in prison.

Julian Assange to seek release from prison after extradition ruling

Legal team for WikiLeaks co-founder expected to refer to Covid risk at Belmarsh prison

Ben Quinn
Mon 4 Jan 2021 17.17 GM

Julian Assange will make a fresh appeal to be released from prison this week after a British judge ruled that he cannot be extradited to the US to face charges of espionage and hacking government computers.

While district judge Vanessa Baraitser rejected arguments that Assange would not get a fair trial in the US, she blocked extradition on the basis that the WikiLeaks co-founder was at risk of taking his own life if he were to be held in isolation.
