Julian Assange due in court in latest stage of fight against US extradition Old Bailey to hear allegations Assange tried to recruit people to hack classified information https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/sep/07/julian-assange-due-court-latest-stage-fight-against-us-extradition Note Baraitser is the judge. She is normally a district judge. 'Because of physical distancing requirements, only a few seats have been made available to the media and other observers, including NGOs and MEPs, in a separate courtroom in the Old Bailey. They will watch proceedings on a screen. The case is being heard by the district judge Vanessa Baraitser, who normally sits at Westminster magistrates court and regularly hears extradition cases. Among the lawyers representing Assange are Edward Fitzgerald QC and Jennifer Robinson of Doughty Street Chambers as well as Gareth Peirce of the law firm Birnberg Peirce.' A travesty. |
