The US overturned an appeal against a ruling by a lower court that prohibited Julian Assange's extradition.

  • Court rules, Assange will be extradited to US
    Julian Assange will be extradited to the United States. 

On Friday, the US government overturned a block on the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange from Britain to face trial for publishing top-secret documents exposing war crimes perpetrated by the US and its allies across the globe, although options to appeal remain open to his legal team.

Washington presented the challenge after a lower court judge in London ruled in January that the 50-year-old journalist would be a suicide risk in the US justice system.

Assange’s fiancee, Stella Moris, denounced the decision as "grave miscarriage of justice," as quoted by Wikileaks on Twitter.

Activists gathered outside the courthouse in central London erupted in protest after the news of the decision filtered outside.

“This is an utterly shameful development that has alarming implications not only for Assange’s mental health but also for journalism and press freedom around the world,” wrote Rebecca Vincent, who has been monitoring the extradition hearing for Reporters Without Borders and was in the courtroom on Friday.
