Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is pictured leaving court following his secret extradition hearing after claiming security services bugged his room at the Ecuadorian embassy- Daily Mail

Julian Assange has been pictured for the first time in months being whisked from court in a prison van after claiming his Ecuadorian embassy room had been bugged by security forces. 

The Wikileaks founder, 48, appeared more well-groomed than he did when he was last snapped in May in the wake of being kicked out of his embassy bolthole.  

He was seen in the maximum security vehicle – believed to be travelling back to  Belmarsh Prison in southeast London – wearing a dark jacket and white shirt.

Today’s hearing was held in secret and journalists were barred from observing on national security grounds.
