This was reported by TASS with reference to the Press Association.

According to Pierce, the technology provided to Assange does not allow him to go online to study the necessary legal information and the history of the consideration of similar court cases.

“We are preparing hard to consider this extremely complex matter, but one of the main obstacles for us is that Mr. Assange does not have access to what he needs to learn his own business. After a struggle that took many months, he was provided with a computer, but not one with which he could prepare for the upcoming hearings, ”she told the judge.

In turn, the judge replied that she had no authority to change the conditions of Assange's detention.

It is noted that Assange participated in the hearing via video link from the prison.

Earlier, the court left Assange in custody.

UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Niels Meltzer noted that Britain is violating Assange’s rights and is also trying to force him to “pay a high price for publishing serious violations of the authorities.”
