Julian Assange's Extradition Case: Latest Updates

Permission Granted for Full Appeal

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been granted permission to appeal against his extradition to the United States.

The decision was made by a British court on Monday, May 20, 2024, after Assange's legal team argued that the extradition request was politically motivated and that he would not receive a fair trial in the United States.

Support from Demonstrators

As the appeal hearing began, supporters of Julian Assange gathered outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London, holding banners and placards in his support.

Demonstrators chanted slogans and urged the British government to block the extradition and allow Assange to remain in the United Kingdom.

Upcoming Court Decision

The British court is expected to make a final decision on Assange's extradition on Monday.

If the court rules in favor of extradition, Assange will be sent to the United States to face charges related to the release of classified documents by WikiLeaks in 2010.
