The Wikileaks website has put up for sale a collection of memorabilia associated with its founder, Julian Assange, in a bid to raise funds.

Among the items on the eBay auction site are a sachet of prison coffee and a laptop computer.

Starting bids for the items range from $315 (£200) for the coffee to $6,000 for the computer.

Wikileaks has come under increasing financial pressure as sources of funding have been shut down.
