Ben Keith recently spoke in the National press on the Julian Assange case.
Assange had avoided extradition proceedings as he stayed within the sanctuary of the Ecuadorian Embassy. It would seem that the relationship soured and Assange was no longer afforded the protection of the Embassy and was quite literally dragged from the building.
Following his recent arrest, Ben Keith wrote for the Times on 12 April 2019 and discusses the case here.
Assange was sentenced to 50 weeks in prison for breaching his bail conditions in his extradition proceedings from 2012. You can view Ben's BBC News interview on 16 April 2019 here.
