“The next hearing will be held on November 18,” RIA Novosti quoted the judge’s verdict.
As noted, the defendant will be able to participate via video link from Belmarsh prison, where he is serving his sentence.
The judge specified that the hearings will also be held in December, January and February, and in essence the case will be considered at the end of February, as planned.
Earlier, the defense asked to postpone the hearing for three months due to the complexity of the process.
The purpose of the current technical hearings is to determine the agenda for future meetings. Assange was present at them.
