===== • What we don't know yet ===== 



===== How long will it last? =====

It may be up to three, or maybe four(!) weeks, as the UK is trying hard to maintain the appearance of fair and impartial proceedings, despite all evidence that this is a mockery of justice. Proceedings could be shorter (on February they were scheduled to last for 5 days and ended up during only 3.5, the prosecution having surprisingly little -always the same- things to say...).

===== How will the public be able to attend? =====

Previous episode of the hearing gave way to a farce when it comes to access to the public: public was filtered outside of the premises of the court and forced to queue from 6AM on; only 13 people being allowed inside from the public; they were held in some high-security glass room where little could be understood of what was going on...

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? 

===== What indictment will it be based on? Is anything of this even legal? =====

==== 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. 

It was unclear at the time of resuming of the extradition hearing on Sept.7th over which document the proceedings would be! On Sept 7th, the US prosecution formally withdraw its extradition request to file in a new one based on the new indictment, and Assange had to be "re-arrested" (sic). The defense didn't even have an occasion to formally prepare, react and organize to the new accusations (as the deadline for filing evidence and registering witnesses was long past). All requests to cancel/postpone the hearing were rejected, as accounted by [[https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2020/09/your-man-in-the-public-gallery-the-assange-hearing-day-6/|Craig Murray]]...

In techno-legal lingo, such a process is usually described as "a farce". Except this one is not comical at all...
