Julian Assange Extradition Denied by London Court
Wikileaks Founder Faces 175 Years in Prison in the United States
London court's decision follows a lengthy legal battle over Assange's extradition
A London court has denied the extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to the United States. Assange, who is facing charges of conspiracy and computer hacking in the United States, has been fighting his extradition for several years.
The court's decision is a major blow to the U.S. government, which has been seeking Assange's extradition for years. The U.S. government has accused Assange of conspiring with Chelsea Manning to leak classified information. Assange has denied the charges.
The court's decision is likely to be appealed by the U.S. government. However, it is not clear how long the appeal process will take or if the appeal will be successful.
