Assange in lockdown as Belmarsh Prison inmates test positive for COVID-19 Archived Message Posted by sashimi on November 19, 2020, 9:37 am Oscar Grenfell, 18 November 2020 (quote) WikiLeaks announced this morning that its publisher, Julian Assange, has been placed under lockdown in London's Belmarsh Prison after several inmates in his cell block tested positive for COVID-19. Infections have reportedly been confirmed among three prisoners in House Block 1. According to WikiLeaks, the governor of Belmarsh wrote to prisoners detained there, including Assange, informing them that cases had been identified. The letter indicated that all prisoners and staff would be tested, with the results released in 24 to 48 hours. Inmates are prohibited from showering or exercising, and meals will be delivered to them, meaning they are likely to be held in their cells 24 hours a day.
