Julian Assange is struggling to prepare for his case fighting extradition to the
United States because he has been given an unsuitable computer in
prison, his lawyer told a
British court on Monday.
Assange, 48, who spent seven years holed up in Ecuador’s embassy before he was dragged out in April, is wanted in the United States to face 18 counts including conspiring to hack government computers and violating an espionage law.
Appearing at London's Westminster Magistrates' Court via video link, Assange spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth in a hearing that lasted just a few minutes.
