Julian Assange appeared in a London court by videolink from a high-security prison on Thursday as his battle against extradition to the United States on a computer hacking conspiracy charge gets underway. The WikiLeaks founder telling a judge, "I do not wish to surrender myself for extradition for doing journalism that's won many, many awards and affected many people." Lawyer Ben Brandon, representing the US government, said that the provisional arrest warrant for Assange was based on an indictment filed in Virginia for "one offense of attempting to access a computer without consent and accessing a computer without authorization." "Chelsea Manning downloaded a vast amount of classified documents. This include four databases with nearly 90,000 Afghan war reports, 400,000 Iraq significant activity reports ... [and] 250,000 state department cables," Brandon said. Manning then provided the documents to WikiLeaks, Brandon continued. He added that evidence collected during the course of the US investigation showed the pair "unlawfully conspired to effect these disclosures" and that Assange "agreed to help Manning crack a password that was connected to government server." Brandon said the maximum sentence for this type of offense is five years, adding that the full request from the US government had not yet been received. He said the prosecution would like the first day of the hearing to take place on June 12. Proceedings were adjourned until May 30, when another procedural court date will take place.
British lawmakers will have the opportunity to vote on up to four amendments to Prime Minister Theresa May’s proposed delay to Brexit on Thursday, Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow said. Lawmakers will vote on a government motion later which sets out the option to have a short delay to Brexit by agreeing to an exit deal by March 20, or a longer delay if no deal can be agreed in time. Bercow said he had selected an amendment put forward by a group of independent lawmakers calling for a second referendum on Brexit, as well as one proposed by the opposition Labour Party which calls for May to use a Brexit delay to give parliament time “to find a majority for a different approach”. The final two selected are a plan to take control of the parliamentary agenda with the aim of forcing a discussion of Brexit options, and one which takes issue with the prospect of the government bringing May’s deal back unchanged for a third “meaningful” vote.
