2020-09-08 17

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's father, John Shipton, was seen addressing the media outside the Old Bailey yesterday (September 7).

Assange's hearing has continued after being adjourned during the UK's COVID-19 lockdown.

Rebecca Vincent of Reporters Without Borders expressed concerns after a judge rejected a bid to delay the hearing.

Assange faces 175 years in jail if convicted and extradited to the US.
