A VISIBLY gaunt Julian Assange was able to follow only an hour of the opening day of his extradition hearing today, as protesters outside the High Court demanded an end to the journalist’s “nightmare.”
The Australian’s legal team opened the two-day legal challenge at the central London court, brought by the United States after a decision not to allow the journalist’s extradition earlier this year.
Protesters gathered outside and chanted support for Mr Assange throughout the hearing.
