The Australian is accused of working with former US army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to leak classified documents. A day before his appearance at the nearby Woolwich Crown Court, Assange’s father John Shipton claimed his son had been “harassed” by a prison cell search. Varoufakis said Assange was in a “very dark place” due to spending more than 20 hours a day in solitary confinement and called for the extradition to be stopped “in the interests of 300 years of modernity, 300 years of trying to establish human rights and civil liberties in the west and around the world”.
