The High Court in London interrupted the trial during which a decision was to be made whether Julian Assange will be extradited from Great Britain to the USA and scheduled its continuation for tomorrow morning.
The founder of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, did not appear at the beginning of the trial in London, where the High Court was supposed to finally decide whether he should be extradited from Great Britain to the USA for health reasons, his lawyers announced, writes the BBC.
Assange's team has argued that there are human rights violations in his case and that the case is politically motivated.
In court, Assange's legal team claimed to have evidence of a CIA plot, when Donald Trump was US president, to kidnap or kill him; at the Embassy of Ecuador in London.
A Spanish court is separately investigating allegations that a Spain-based security firm spied on Assange during his years at the embassy.
Ed Fitzgerald KC, Assange's lawyer, told the court that US promises of fair treatment could not be trusted and that his client could face a grossly unfair and disproportionate sentence if extradited.
