WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange being taken from court, where he appeared on charges of jumping British bail seven years ago, in London, Wednesday May 1, 2019.
JULIAN ASSANGE was strip searched and moved to a bare cell on the day the Home Secretary green-lit his extradition to the United States, his wife said today.
Stella Assange said the WikiLeaks founder was told he was being moved “for his own protection” and had no visits over the weekend following the announcement last Friday.
“Imagine what it’s like for him to have to process this alone,” said Ms Assange.
