Hearing is likely to be held at [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.5155&mlon=-0.1018#map=16/51.5155/-0.1018|Old Bailey]], the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales (commonly called the Old Bailey, after the street on which it stands), in Central London. | Hearing is will be held at [[https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=51.5155&mlon=-0.1018#map=16/51.5155/-0.1018|Old Bailey]], the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales (commonly called the Old Bailey, after the street on which it stands), in Central London. |

Yet many supporters felt comfortable expressing their support and anger while organizing **outside** of the court room. Will it be possible this time, due to Covid-19 restrictions or any other pretext used to silence public expression on Assange's case? | Yet many supporters felt comfortable expressing their support and anger while organizing **outside** of the court room.

The [[https://challengepower.info/superseding_indictment_-_24-06-2020|superceding indictment]] has apparently not even been officially sent to the court, nor the defense. Is it even part of the proceedings? Or are the proceedings now working on the basis of a US indictment that no longer has legal force? 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... | ===== New indictment and the formal Court proceedings ===== |
| |
| The US DoJ published a [[https://challengepower.info/superseding_indictment_-_24-06-2020|new, superseding indictment]] on June 24th 2020, telling a completely different story, while the extradition hearing had already started(!). Yet, the US haven't formally transmitted them to the UK prosecution, nor the defense team. |
| |
| Thus it is unclear yet over which document the proceedings will be! Maybe the US prosecution will withdraw its extradition request to file in a new one, based on the new indictment? In which case will the defense have an occasion to formally react/prepare to the new document (by filing evidence, etc?)? and/or would it make the proceedings restart from the start? |

| ===== A Delaying Tactics by the US, to Dodge Election Time? ===== |
| |
| According to [[https://dontextraditeassange.com/press-release/doj-may-attempt-to-delay-assange-hearing-past-us-election-warns-assanges-partner|Stella Morris]], Julian Assange's partner, it is possible that //“the US will drop its existing extradition request and then re-arrest him on the very same 18 charges, under a different extradition request.”//, as an attempt to postpone the proceedings after the US elections. |
