Wikileaks co-founder Julian Assange in dock at London's Old Bailey as fight against extradition to US resumes
Edward Fitzgerald QC, representing Mr Assange, said he had not seen his client in person for six months in part due to the pandemic - and he told the court the latest indictment had been made"at the 11th hour" without warning.
Meanwhile, crowds of supporters gathered outside the Old Bailey, including Mr Assange's father John Shipton and the fashion designer Dame Vivienne Westwood. Mr Shipton said his son was being treated like a hardened criminal. He said:"Julian's in a glass box, he finds it very difficult to hear anything. I can't hear anything, I'm upstairs in the gallery."
