Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Attorneys calling the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States said at a hearing Monday the WikiLeaks co-founder should not be allowed to hide behind journalism to break the law.
Assange, who has been in a London prison since last April after living under asylum for seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy, is fighting extradition to face 18 U.S. charges of attempted hacking and breaches of the Espionage Act.
