		</div><p>Julian Assange will appear in court on Friday to give evidence over allegations he was the target of an illegal surveillance campaign while living at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.</p>
<p>Footage from embassy CCTV cameras and documents, including private legal papers and a medical record, were said to have been offered to Spanish police during an undercover operation.</p>
<p>A Spanish security firm has been accused over the hack and the case was launched in Madrid earlier this year.</p>
<p>Assange, 48, who is currently being held in HMP Belmarsh awaiting the outcome of an extradition request by the US, is due to appear at Westminster Magistrates Courts in person on Friday.</p>
<p>The hearing is unconnected to the US extradition case, where he faces 18 charges including conspiracy to commit computer intrusion.</p>
<p>Assange is accused of working with former US army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning to leak hundreds of thousands of classified documents.</p>
<p>The hearing on Friday is due to be held in a closed court, but a small crowd of Assange’s supporters were gathered outside the court building in Central London with banners and signs demanding his release.</p>
<p>Journalists were also denied entry to the courtroom.</p>
<p>Assange will be giving evidence to the Spanish judge tasked with investigating the case – the equivalent of a police interview – via videolink from within the courtroom.</p>
