WikiLeaks: London court delays Assange extradition hearing

Tuesday, 05 May 2020 | AP | London

WikiLeaks said its founder Julian Assange will have to wait at least until September before a British judge will hear a US request for his extradition.

Assange, who faces espionage charges over the activities of WikiLeaks, is currently in Belmarsh Prison in London and is fighting the allegations.

Kristinn Hrafnsson, WikiLeaks’ editor-in-chief, said in a video posted on social media that it was “completely unacceptable” that Assange has to spend another four months — and potentially longer — in prison. By the time any hearing begins in September, Assange will have spent a year in remand after he was dragged out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
