In the United Kingdom, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s next court hearing for his extradition to the United States will be held on 18th of November, the Westminster Magistrates’ Court in London ruled today.
According to the court ruling, Assange will be able to take part in the hearing through a video call from Belmarsh prison, where he is held, due to his health problems.
Assange is currently serving a 50-week sentence in London’s Belmarsh prison over violating his bail conditions. In the United States, he is facing espionage charges over his work with WikiLeaks, which published a large number of leaked classified documents.
