Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is being denied access to his lawyers by British prison officials, a court has heard.

He's been charged in the US with 17 counts of spying and one count of computer hacking in relation to WikiLeaks' release of thousands of classified Pentagon files regarding the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, most of which were allegedly provided by former US army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning. Assange's supporters in the public gallery, who included British rapper M.I.A., silently waved and raised fists to him and he smiled and nodded before giving them a two-fingered salute.
