During Wednesday’s hearing, the US government argued Assange, 50, was not “so ill” that he would be unable to resist killing himself if extradited – challenging Baraitser’s ruling that the US authorities could not “prevent Assange from finding a way to commit suicide” if he was extradited.

Dobbin said the US government would seek to show that Assange’s mental health problems did not meet the threshold required in law to prevent extradition.

She told the court: “It really requires a mental illness of a type that the ability to resist suicide has been lost. Part of the appeal will be that Assange did not have a mental illness that came close to being of that nature and degree.”

Berlín Na 120 politiků, umělců a novinářů vyzvalo německou kancléřku Angelu Merkelovou, aby se při setkání s americkým prezidentem Joem Bidenem tento týden ve Washingtonu zasadila o omilostnění zakladatele serveru WikiLeaks Juliana Assange.

„Snažně vás prosíme, pomozte v případu Juliana Assange stavět mosty,“ stojí v dopise adresovaném Merkelové z 11. července. Podle agentury DPA, která má text k dispozici, dopis iniciovaný investigativním novinářem a spisovatelem Günterem Wallraffem podepsali poslanci Spolkového sněmu napříč politickým spektrem, bývalí ministři spolkové vlády jako Sigmar Gabriel nebo Oskar Lafontaine, rakouská nositelka Nobelovy ceny za literaturu Elfriede Jelineková nebo vydavatelka ženského časopisu Emma Alice Schwarzerová.

Key witness in Assange case admits to lies in indictment - Stundin

"One of the main witnesses in Julian Assange’s extradition case has admitted he made false claims against Assange in exchange for immunity from prosecution, a bombshell revelation that could have a major impact on the WikiLeaks founder’s fate. Assange faces up to 175 years in prison if brought to the U.S., where he was indicted for violations of the Espionage Act related to the publication of classified documents exposing U.S. war crimes.

According to a new article in the Icelandic newspaper Stundin, the convicted hacker Sigurdur 'Siggi' Thordarson falsely claimed he was a prominent WikiLeaks representative instructed by Assange to carry out hacking attacks, but he was in fact only tangentially involved with the organization. The article suggests the U.S. Justice Department collaborated with Thordarson to generate the indictment for Assange that was submitted to the British courts. "
