The London High Court lifted a previously issued extradition ban in December. Assange now wants to have this decision reviewed by the Supreme Court. Whether he will be allowed to do so should now be decided on Monday (January 24th).
“The UK High Court will announce its decision on Monday morning whether to allow Assange to appeal the decision to extradite the US to the Supreme Court on legal grounds of general public interest,” the Don’t initiative said in a statement Extra Assange. His fiancee Stella Moris will be there and make a statement, it said.
The US judiciary accuses the 50-year-old Australian of having stolen secret material from US military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and a large number of diplomatic cables together with whistleblower Chelsea Manning and having published them on the Internet platform Wikileaks. This endangered the lives of American informants in many countries. Assange is a spy for US investigators. He faces a sentence of up to 175 years. His supporters, on the other hand, see him as an investigative journalist who brought war crimes to light.
