Julian Assange has been refused bail by a judge who this week rejected a US request to have him extradited to face espionage and hacking charges. She referred to an offer of asylum that the president of Mexico had extended to Assange following Monday’s ruling. The court also received confirmation that lawyers for the US would appeal against Monday’s extradition ruling. Julian should not be in Belmarsh prison in the first place. Police arrested seven people from among a gathering of Assange supporters outside the court.
