LONDON, ENGLAND – APRIL 11: Julian Assange gestures to the media from a police vehicle on his arrival at Westminster Magistrates court on April 11, 2019 in London, England. After weeks of speculation Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was arrested by Scotland Yard Police Officers inside the Ecuadorian Embassy in Central London this morning. Ecuador's President, Lenin Moreno, withdrew Assange's Asylum after seven years citing repeated violations to international conventions. 

A WikiLeaks-connected convicted hacker has been moved from a federal prison to the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA), it is believed, to testify before the same grand jury that Chelsea Manning was jailed for defying.

Jeremy Hammond, the Jeremy Hammond Support Committee said in a Tuesday press release, was moved last week from Memphis, Tennessee to EDVA after being "called against his will to testify before a Federal Grand Jury." As the group noted, Hammond is serving out a 10-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to hacking Stratfor Global Intelligence.
