The hearing of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange in a court in London has been interrupted due to concerns about corona infections. There may be an infection in the vicinity of the lawyers, reported British media. “As long as the situation is uncertain, the hearing should be adjourned until the result is there,” said the judge in charge. According to the court, the proceedings should continue on Monday. The hearing on the US application for the extradition of the native Australian has been running again since this week after a long break. The US judiciary has accused the 49-year-old of helping whistleblower Chelsea Manning to publish classified material from military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. If convicted, he faces up to 175 years in prison.
