Lindsay Lewis, US lawyer who represented Abu Hamza al-Masri is giving evidence. #Assange

She said that US gave assurances to English courts that Hamza would not held at the ADX (SuperMax) prison Colerado during his extradition aside from a short period of time. #Assange

Lewis said the assurances were not honoured. Hamza was subject to Special Administrative Measures (SAMS) two weeks after his arrival in US. Hamza has been held in ADX Colorado for the past 5 years. #Assange

Lewis said that Assange would almost certainly be placed on SAMS for national security reasons. #Assange

Hamza is also know as Mustafa Kamel Mustafa.

Hamza was extradited to the US in 2014 on terrorism charges. He is being held at ADX Florence Colerado #Assange
