Julian Assange was too ill to appear at his court hearing in London on Thursday, his lawyer said.
He had been due to appear at his case management hearing via video link from Belmarsh Prison but lawyer Gareth Peirce said he was"not very well".A spokesman for the whistleblowing website said it had"grave concerns" about Assange's health. "Defence lawyer for Assange, Per Samuelson, said that Julian Assange's health state last Friday was such 'that it was not possible to conduct a normal conversation with him'."Assange's supporters back him in his fight against extradition to the US
Interesting how EVERYONE is suddenly too ill when they have to go to court. But suddenly recover once they leave the building.
That’s what you get when you try to make Assange bathe.
BBCPolitics I bet his former schools never checked the signature on his notes to get out of P.E
BBCPolitics To quote Freddie Mercury...”everybody play the game”!
Lies.
BBCWorld Won’t be surprised that he dies of ‘natural causes’ or ‘suicide’ in jail. We have all seen this movie before.
Yea, I bet. He aided Russia and China. And where are the RNC hacked emails.
Prick......he's be ok if he was still hiding from justice in an embassy.....
BBCWorld For 1? Dgaf' & he's faking it! Nvrdrmp; 99%
BBCWorld The wrong one is being prosecuted, it should be Trump
BBCWorld That's a lucky coincidence 🙄
He looked jaundiced when they brought him out of the Embassy
The man is innocent.
He never stops his lying.
Absolute donkey brains
BBCWorld And?
BBCWorld Since we invented acuses ...
BBCWorld He looked healthy when he was resisting those police.
Trump too mentally ill to visit UK .. (wish)
BBCPolitics Must have got some class of disease from cleaning out his cats litter tray
He's definitely sick 🤮
BBCWorld YEAH, RIGHT.
BBCWorld There’s a surprise, I’m sure the health care in Sweden and the States is good he’ll be ok
I'm sure if you gave him a laptop and the password to the US government military database, you'd see a miraculous recovery!
Julian Assange is a spineless nonce 🤷♂️
Aye up?
Belmarsh Prison will do that to people, it's called punishment.
That old chestnut, not too worry fella Uncle Sam will make u better when we turn u over to him .
BBCWorld This is the man who’s disclosures put brave men and women at risk of death. Try him in absentia then give him to America who still know how to punish treason
BBCWorld Okay, great, fine... but how is his cat?
Ah didums get him to court, it's not like he has to walk the man is just a waster get him deported ASAP and stop wasting our money
Julian Assange is going to be the embodiment of the old Japanese expression... The nail that sticks up, gets hammered in...
The People (commenting on this) have successfully been turned against their own saviours by the ruling class. For shame
Put him in a cell until his 'illness ' overtakes him
Bullshit he's putting it on.
There's a shock 😂😂
Lawyer speak for CBA
BBCPolitics It's baffling here to see the plebians fighting alongside the powers that be against a man who only sought to enlighten them and provide them with information they have the right to know but which the government did not want to tell them.
Is his lawyer a medical expert ? if not get the option of someone who is
Political prisoner.
Don’t believe anything that snake says !
Pish 🤔
BBCWorld I see his defence is coming together nicely.
good move ...
BBCPolitics That’s ok the courts will wait or start without you
BBCWorld This guy deserves some respect and solidarity for trying to expose corruption and getting things right
BBCWorld Do NOT play with fire if you cant take the heat
BBCWorld Send him to the hospital at GITMO.
BBCWorld I'm terribly sorry to see someone happy with how such a brave whistle-blower is treated 😞
Drag the traitor to court
The beginning of the end. How long before he attends court in a wheelchair? Played with the wrong fire son.
C'mon guys! Replacing all yummy Ecuadorian food with Her Majesty's Belmarsh gruel would make anybody an unhealthy mess! Nothing the lure of a few Swedish babes couldn't remedy tho. Send him across the water!
Sick as a parrot?
convenient..
BBCWorld Surprise surprise surprise! I wonder what's happened to him hmmm! It must have been something he ate. No one could possibly have done anything, right?
Delay tactics in order to prevent his testimony. His name was Seth rich!
BBCPolitics Lawyer? Or doctor?
BBCWorld Mentally?
BBCPolitics Messed his pants at the thought that he is not universally loved.
they are murdering him! shame!
BBCWorld Death penalty
Are they poisoning him? And we thought that was a thing of the Russians.
Of course he is
BBCPolitics He's never leaving the US alive
BBCPolitics He’s a right old cowardy custard this one isn’t he? The dog ate my homework, my tummy’s upset, I’ve got an I growing toenail, I am a big yellow belly
Yeh right!!!!!!!!!!!!🙄
BBCPolitics Yea, sick in the head...
Oh that one.
BBCPolitics If it's good enough for Keith vaz I suppose 🙄
all that he has been through must have taken a heavy toll, because after all he's still a young man and shouldn't be too ill for anything.
Withdrawal effects from lack of WiFi?
Did he phone them up using his sick voice
