Though Sweden is no longer seeking his extradition, Mr. Assange has said he fears that the United States will prosecute him over the document leaks.
Ms. Taylor was among a group of attorneys who represented Mr. Assange at a 2016 hearing before a United Nations human rights panel, which ruled
that he had been arbitrarily detained in violation of international law.

Mr. Assange, perhaps best known for publishing leaked United States military documents, has remained inside the Ecuadorean
Embassy in London since 2012, after the Swedish authorities issued a warrant for his arrest over a rape accusation.
