Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is still expected to come to Brighton, despite facing extradition.

The internet activist is lined up to take part in a discussion entitled “Article 19” about Freedom of Information at Brighton Festival.

The May 21 debate was one of the first festival shows to sell out.

But in February a judge agreed that Mr Assange should be extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sex offences.

However his legal team has appealed against the extradition and Mr Assange, who denies the allegations, currently remains in the country.
