UK: Australian Julian Assange guilty of breaching bail

Westminster Magistrates’ Court: A UK judge has found Australian Julian Assange WikiLeaks founder guilty of breaching his bail. His supporters packed the public gallery.

The verdict was quick Judge Michael Snow after Julian Assange appeared in court.

The Australian‘s defence was that he couldn’t expect a fair trial in British courts as the United Kingdom’s purpose was to hand him over to the United States.

Justice Snow said “His assertion that he has not had a fair hearing is laughable,” 

“And his behaviour is that of a narcissist who cannot get past his own self-interest.”

Assange faces a sentence of up to 12 months, and has been remanded in custody to await sentencing at Southwark Crown Court.
