The Australian's next hearing had been due on May 18, but District Judge Vanessa Baraitser last week agreed to delay it over concerns that Assange and lawyers would not be able to attend in person.

The new location and start date of the remaining three weeks will be confirmed on Friday by the court.

ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. HOW LONG WILL THIS GUY BE JAILED BEFORE BEING CONVICTED. I THOUGHT WE HAD A HUMAN RIGHTS GROUP. WHERE ARE THEY? 😈😈😈

Mr Assange is a stark example of what happens when you reveal the truth in this sick world. Some of us have lost a great deal standing up for smaller matters. It's a sad reality that he's f$ked no matter what.

With constant references to him being Australian one would have thought the Australian government would be a joiner in this matter and demand his extradition to Oz.

What is abcs thoughts about the women in Indiana that streamed her skinning live cats?

We need him he is a national treasure and Australia needs his skills in the coming global issues ScottMorrison he is an asset for the country and the government

Let him come home.

Funny how no one wants to bring him back to aus. Atleast, I haven’t heard it.
