It is reported by RIA Novosti.

According to the agency, Assange's lawyer Gareth Pearce asked to postpone the meeting. According to the lawyer, his client did not have the opportunity to get acquainted with the case due to technical problems with video communications and inconvenient time for visiting the defendant in prison.

The court agreed with the defense of Assange.

It is specified that the next meeting, as well as the current one, should be held by video link.

Earlier, the Deputy Prosecutor General of Sweden, Eva-Marie Persson, said that the investigation in the Assange case was terminated.
