US Extradition Case Against Assange Set for Next Year

Associated Press

   LONDON - A British court has set a date early next year for WikiLeaks
   founder Julian Assange to face a U.S. extradition attempt over his role
   in revealing classified government and military information.

   The judge at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Friday set a full
   extradition hearing for Feb. 25, 2020. It is expected to last about
   five days. Interim hearings are expected in July and October.

   Assange, who has been suffering from ill health in prison, appeared in
   court via video link. He appeared to be tired and showed signs of a
   possible hand tremor. He was again sporting a gray-white beard after
   having shaved it off before his last court appearance.
