Around 200 demonstrators assembled outside Westminster Magistrates Court in London on Monday to oppose the extradition of WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange to the United States on espionage charges carrying a 175-year prison sentence. The procedural hearing was only the third public appearance by Assange since his illegal seizure by police in April from his place of asylum at the Ecuadorian embassy in London. It was in preparation for a full extradition hearing in February 2020.
