It is noted that the next technical hearing in the case of his extradition to the United States will be held on December 13 and 19.

As specified, today's hearing lasted four minutes. Assange participated in them by video link from the prison, where he is held on a sentence about violation of the conditions for bail.

Earlier, UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Niels Meltzer, said the UK was violating the rights of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and was also trying to force him to “pay a high price for publishing serious violations of the authorities.”
