The Australian WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out today whether he will be extradited to the US on espionage charges.

Hundreds of people have been gathering outside the court for two days in support of Assange and one person claimed they were "really, really frightened".

Speaking to GB News one of the supporters outside court said: "If the judges today accept what the US reassurances are then I have lost faith in the British justice system."

Another said: "I want Julian Assange to be released, it is essential to stop tyranny and freedom of the press."

She added: "I'm so nervous, I am really, really frightened. I just hope to God he is not sent back to the USA."

Another supporter said: "I'm expecting another travesty of justice, I don't think anything is going to happen. The British Government and the Establishment have been putting this off and fobbing around for nearly ten years."
