Julian Assange is facing a second day in the High Court as part of long-standing battle against extradition to the US, where he is accused of leaking confidential military secrets.
He was unable to attend the first day of the hearing as his barrister told the court was too unwell.
The WikiLeaks founder is wanted by US authorities over an alleged conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information following the publication of hundreds of thousands of leaked documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
Lawyers for the 52-year-old argued that if extradited, he would face a “flagrant denial of justice” by prejudiced judges, and was being prosecuted for an “ordinary journalistic practice”.
TalkTV’s Julia Hartley-Brewer is joined by director of the documentary about Assange called ‘The Trust Fall’, Kym Staton, to discuss his final bid to fight extradition to the US.
