WikiLeaks’ Assange Appears In Court Over Extradition Case


WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his lawyer appeared briefly in court in London Tuesday for a procedural hearing related to his extradition to Sweden.

The judge in the case agreed to a change in Assange’s bail conditions for two days next month so he can get to the main extradition hearing on time on February 7-8.

Assange is currently required by the courts to stay at the mansion of a supporter outside of London every night. He’ll be allowed to stay at the Frontline Club, a journalists’ club in central London, on February 6 and 7 if the people who put up bail for him agree.

He spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and current residence in a hearing that lasted about 10 minutes.

Assange’s website, which facilitates the leaking of secret information, has released hundreds of thousands of pages of U.S. military and diplomatic documents over the past eight months.

In addition to staying at the mansion outside London, he must report to police between 2 and 5 p.m. daily, and wear an electronic tag to monitor his location.
