England: Pro-Assange protest outside London court as he misses hearing due to illness
Supporters of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange protested outside Westminster Magistrates Court in London, on Thursday.
Assange had been scheduled to appear at a hearing in the court via video link, but he was reportedly too ill to do so and has recently been transferred to the medical wing of HMP Belmarsh prison in Wandsworth, London.
Journalist John Pilger expressed his support and said “This is so shameful, so shameful that we are even here today to consider the extradition of a journalist for trying to protect his sources. Or even the extradition of Julian Assange to Sweden to an entirely bogus case.”
