    As happened last time, HMP Belmarsh fails to produce Assange for court Archived Message

    Farcical. Last hearing, Assange was eventually 'produced' by Belmarsh one hour late - as journalists and observers from around the world witnessed UK's judicial incompetence, plugged into remote court phone lines that played jingle music rather than audio of proceedings.

    Almost unbelieveably, the same scenario looks set to play out again today.
    Journalist at court this morning reports:
    "The Assange hearing has been delayed today, yet again, because Belmarsh prison has failed to produce him.
    Once again supermax Belmarsh is unable to locate THE political prisoner of the west.
    I overheard officials saying that they're not able to get in touch with Belmarsh and don't know if he will be produced ... yet again
    "
