-Rumours go it will be somewhere around London, but technically the judge could decide to have it anywhere. If the precise location is not announced early enough in advance, it could be seen as attempt -one more- at making it more difficult for Assange'defense and supporters to organize...+

It's not anyways like if the UK demonstrated any sort of attachment to legality, the respect of international treaties, or even the appearance of impartial justice so far...
