It’s the fourth and final week of witness testimony in WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's extradition trial.

Court starts soon, and I'll have live updates in this thread. #AssangeTrial

Third week of #AssangeTrial ended with significant testimony from a digital forensic expert with background in US military, who used the US military's own expert witness in Chelsea Manning's trial to discredit password-cracking theory against Assange. https://dissenter.substack.com/p/prosecutors-password-cracking-conspiracy

Recall, first charge brought against Assange by prosecutors—computer crime—was intended to delude world into believing US govt wasn't targeting Assange for journalism. But that was false. Always a smokescreen, and that smokescreen dissipated w/ Eller's testimony. #AssangeTrial

Judge Baraitser is denying a press association request for disclosure of witness statements on Assange's physical and mental health. The defense opposed disclosure, and prosecution backed them up. #AssangeTrial

First witness for Day 15 is about to take the stand: Yancey Ellis, an experienced lawyer who practices in the area of Virginia in and around Alexandria Detention Center, where Assange would be held in detention before and during trial. #AssangeTrial

Ellis says Alexandria jail is most common place for defendants to be held. He mentions it housed two high-profile defendants, Paul Manafort and Maria Butina. Chelsea Manning was also held there when found in contempt. #AssangeTrial

Ellis referred to X Block, where Assange would be detained. He'd be in a cell for about 22 hours a day, with only 1-2 hours outside his cell at "very odd hours." #AssangeTrial
