Assange's legal battle to avoid US espionage trial resumes in London
A London hearing resumes on Monday to decide if WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should be extradited to the United States to face trial over the publication of secrets relating to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The 49-year-old Australian, who is currently being held on remand at a high-security jail, faces 18 counts from US prosecutors that could see him jailed for up to 175 years.

The hearing at the Central Criminal Court, the Old Bailey, is due to last three to four weeks. It had been due to go ahead in April but was delayed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Craig Murray wrote:I hope to be in court today, and throughout the extradition hearing. The public gallery of 80 has been reduced to 9 “due to Covid”. 5 seats are reserved for Julian’s family and friends, and I have one of these today, but not guaranteed beyond that. There are just 4 seats for the general public.

Journalists and NGO’s will be following the hearing online – but only “approved” journalists and NGO’s, selected by the Orwelian Ministry of Justice. I had dinner last night with Assange supporters from a number of registered NGO’s, not one of which had been “approved”. I had applied myself as a representative of Hope Over Fear, and was turned down. It is the same story for those who applied for online access as journalists. Only the officially “approved” will be allowed to watch.

This is supposed to be a public hearing, to which in normal times anybody should be able to walk in off the street into the large public gallery, and anyone with a press card into the press gallery. What is the justification for the political selection of those permitted to watch? An extraordinary online system has been set up, with the state favoured observers given online “rooms” in which only the identified individual will be allowed. Even with approved organisations, it is not the case that an organisation will have a login anyone can use, not even one at a time. Only specifically nominated individuals have to login before proceedings start, and if their connection breaks at any point they will not be readmitted that day.
So, the 'public hearing' is in fact only open to a few select observers, even though, presumably, it would be trivial to allow just about anyone to join the zoom session or whatever it is.

it's not quite cambodia level corruption, but it's still outrageous

Assange warned he will be removed from London court if outbursts continue

A judge has told Wikileaks found Julian Assange to remain quiet or risk being thrown out of his own extradition hearing after he spoke from the dock and interrupted witnesses.

Mr Assange, who is fighting an attempt by US officials to extradite him to the country to stand trial on spying charges, was told by the judge it was within her power to continue without him if he continues to cut in when others spoke in the court.

Vanessa Baraitser briefly adjourned the hearing at London's Central Criminal Court after the 49-year-old interrupted defence witness Clive Stafford Smith as he gave evidence.

bullshit show trial - day 7
Lewis (prosecuting) read out part of an affidavit from US Assistant Attorney Kromberg which stated that Assange was being indicted only for cables containing the publication of names of informants.

Stafford Smith (witness) replied that Kromberg may state that, but in practice that would not be the case in the United States. The charge was of conspiracy, and the way such charges were defined in the US system would allow the widest inclusion of evidence.

. . . <poon: lewis then pushes this weasilly and patently false argument a couple more times>

At this point Julian Assange called out from the dock “This is nonsense. Count 1 states throughout “conspiracy to publish”. After a brief adjournment, Baraitser warned Julian he would be removed from the court if he interrupted proceedings again.
