Julian's father John Shipton arrives and is absolutely mobbed by photographers 
Julian will not be allowed to come to court. Video link only. Kristinn updates:
If there is any "Justice", this case will be dismissed TODAY!

The lungs of the Assange protests, @lulinspector 💪
Today, the US will argue Julian's life will not be at risk if he is extradited, just a few weeks after we found out they were planning to murder him on the streets of London and their key witness lied in his testimony.

"Free Julian Assange! Jail the war criminals!"
Literally THOUSANDS of yellow ribbons are outside, all with messages of support written on them from around the world. Incredible support. Brilliant people.
Massive appreciation for all the work, @TRUMANHUMAN2020!

Had a lengthy chat with Bjartmar Alexandersson, #Stundin journalist who spent more time than he'd have liked with "Siggi the hacker", exposing the FBI indictment as untrue.
"I needed a week away afterwards", he said. That's how much the convicted pedophile made his skin crawl.

Hearing word the reason the police just turned up is the protesters are "loud enough to disrupt the court"
In response, it got a bit louder.

"Free! Free! Julian Assange!"
We are killing this man. We are. Not Russia or North Korea. We are. Because he told the truth.
End this sham trial. #FreeAssange

Kind of incredible this farce has not been laughed out of court already, but here we are.

Julian's health is so bad he could manage about 5 minutes watching this sham via video link before having to leave.

The United States were planning on killing him! It should be impossible to extradite him just on the basis of that!" - Kristinn Hrafnnson

Julian is barely well enough to watch his own trial on TV, yet its being argued in the same court that he'll be fine in the US even though they've been torturing him and trying to kill him.

Dozen police move in to block the entrance to the Courts.
There was no threat from the peaceful protesters outside, but they moved in anyway. They have to be seen to be doing something, after all.
