Assange, 48, is due in the dock at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Monday for a case management hearing relating to his extradition to the United States over allegations that he conspired to break into a classified Pentagon computer.

Former home secretary Sajid Javid signed an order in June allowing Assange to be extradited to the US over the computer-hacking allegations.He was jailed for 50 weeks in the UK in May after he jumped bail by going into hiding in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
