Despite prosecution’s agreement with defense’s request that #Assange be able to sit with his lawyers within the courtroom rather than be isolated in the glass dock, Jusge Baraitser denies the request.

The Judge stated yesterday that when giving testimony, he would be within the court room. Bizarrely, the security concerns seem to apply only when he is not speaking.

Judge Baraitser denies necessity for Assange to be in Court room in order to follow proceedings properly and consult and instruct his legal team throughout proceedings. Yesterday she said the reason was that she did not feel capable of assessing the risk.

The defense argued that Assange and Wikileaks clearly sought to induce a change in government policy with their publications, and in some cases even achieved it. Prosecution had stated before that wanting to change gov policy does constitute a political offense.

Prosecution argues that for it to be a political offense, Assange’s only purpose would have had to be “changing the government or its policy”, both of which prosecution says was not the case.

The fourth day of the #Assange extradition hearings begins and Assange is still in the glass dock. As an experimental solution, he has been given a pair of headphones to hear proceedings better. How they could help him communicate with his counsel is unclear.
