Julian Assange is on remand in a supermax prison outside London where he remains in isolation. He will remain there until his extradition hearing takes place in late February.

If he is extradited to the USA he faces charges of breaching the espionage act which could result in a prison term of 175 years.

His declining mental and physical well being has been well-documented, and Kristinn Hrafnsson, the current Wikileaks editor-in-chief is here to gain support from journalists and politicians to Julian's cause.
