Australian officials have been pressured over whether Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is being afforded due process during his extradition trial in London.

The WikiLeaks founder has complained about being unable to instruct his lawyers from his glass-encased dock and says he can't hear the proceedings given the noise outside the courtroom.

The Wikileaks founder reported being handcuffed 11 times, stripped naked twice and having his case files confiscated after the first day of his trial."We were advised that other than the issue with legal documents, they were standard prison-to-court and court-to-prison procedures."Senator Payne said there had been"an acknowledgement an error was made" in relation to the legal documents and they were returned.

Independent MP Andrew Wilkie, who recently visited Mr Assange inside the facility, told SBS News the Wikileaks founder is effectively being held in"solitary confinement" and his attendance in court sees him"quarantined from his lawyers."
