A British court will decide the fate of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange after closing arguments were made in his two-day extradition trial Thursday.
Julian Assange's hearing at the High Court in London for his possible final appeal challenging his U.S. extradition to the U.S. wrapped up on Wednesday.
Julian Assange's two-day appeal to overturn an extradition order has concluded. Here are the key takeaways from the trial.
LONDON -- WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange won't find out until next month at the earliest whether he can challenge extradition to the U.S. on spying charges, or if his long legal battle in Britain has run out of road.
Julian Assange’s plea for leave to appeal his extradition to the United States provided cause for both hope and concern. Heard over two days in London’s Royal Courts of Justice, on 20 and 21 February 2024, it could be the last time his case is considered by a European court. Assange is fighting extradition to face 17 changes under the Espionage Act, and one of computer hacking. If convicted, he could be sentenced to 175 years in prison, albeit with some qualified commitments that he won’t face the severest solitary confinement.
