Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, appeared in court in London, England on Monday for an extradition hearing that was delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown. Assange is seeking to avoid extradition to the U.S. to face criminal charges over his website’s activities. His father on Monday criticized the case, calling it a “fraud against the court,” while WikiLeaks’ editor-in-chief says Assange’s expert witnesses have been limited to 30 minutes each, which he alleges does not apply to U.S. lawyers.
