WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange misses court session, apparently due to health problems.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange missed a court session Thursday, apparently due to health problems. He had been expected to appear from prison via video link at a brief extradition hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
Roughly two dozen supporters chanted"Free Assange" outside the courthouse. His case has attracted fresh support from free press advocates in the week since the U.S. filed serious espionage charges against him. WikiLeaks said in a statement it has"grave concerns" about Assange's health. The anti-secrecy group says he has been moved to the prison health ward.
