Doughty Street Chambers has been retained to act as the principal legal team defending Julian Assange, who was arrested at the Ecuadorian embassy in London on Thursday (April 11) on breach of bail charges. He now faces extradition to the U.S. to answer computer-hacking charges.
Assange was represented at a preliminary hearing at Westminster Magistrates Court by Doughty Street barrister Liam Walker, with barrister Ben Cooper advising specifically on issues relating to Assange’s potential U.S. extradition.
