Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell outside HMP Belmarsh in London, where he is visted Wikileaks founder Julian Assange ahead of his court battle against extradition to the US which is expected to open on Monday
JULIAN ASSANGE’S fight against extradition to the US is “one of the most important and significant political trials of this generation,” John McDonnell said today when visiting him at Belmarsh Prison.
Speaking at the gates, the shadow chancellor condemned Mr Assange's treatment, who he said is being “persecuted for political reasons, for simply exposing the truth for what went on in relation to recent wars.”
Mr Assange is being held in a cell for 20 hours a day while awaiting the extradition hearing that begins at Woolwich Crown Court on Monday.
