London (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Monday won a bid to appeal against a UK court ruling that approved his extradition to the United States to face trial for breaking national security laws. Two London High Court judges granted Assange permission to appeal, having previously asked Washington to provide "satisfactory assurances" about free speech protections at any US trial. Those submissions were presented at a hearing on Monday, which the 52-year-old Australian did not attend. Assange is wanted by Washington for publishing hundreds of thousands of secret US documents from 2010 ...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden said Wednesday he was "considering" a request by Australia to drop the prosecution of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on espionage charges. Australia's parliament passed a motion in February with the prime minister's support calling for an end to the legal saga surrounding Assange, who has been held in Britain since 2019 while fighting extradition to the United States. "We're considering it," Biden replied at the White House when asked by a reporter if he had a response to Australia's request. Biden, who took the question while walking with visiting J...

London (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces a weeks-long wait to learn if he can make a last-ditch appeal against extradition to the United States, after a UK court on Tuesday delayed a decision. The High Court in London gave the US government three weeks to provide further "assurances" on his treatment if he is sent there to face charges over Wikileaks' 2010 release of secret military and diplomatic files. Washington has spent several years trying to extradite the 52-year-old Australian citizen to stand trial for the publication, which related to the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanis...

London (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out Tuesday whether he can mount a final UK legal bid to challenge his extradition from Britain to the United States, court listings showed. Assange, 52, is facing trial on espionage charges, and a potentially lengthy jail term, after Wikileaks published classified US documents relating to the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Two senior High Court judges in London last month heard two days of evidence from his lawyers and those for the US government over whether to grant him a fresh appeal against extradition. Assange was absent from court...

London (AFP) - Britain's High Court on Wednesday finished hearing two days of arguments over whether to grant WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange a fresh appeal against his extradition to the United States to face espionage charges.

"We will reserve our decision," judge Victoria Sharp said as the latest legal proceedings in the long-running case concluded. It is unclear when she and judge Jeremy Johnson w...

London (AFP) - WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was absent from a London court due to illness Tuesday, as his lawyers launched a likely last bid to appeal against his extradition to the United States to face espionage charges. Washington indicted the Australian multiple times between 2018 and 2020 over WikiLeaks' publication of secret military and diplomatic files on the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. On the first of two days of evidence before two High Court judges, the 52-year-old's leading lawyer said previous rulings contained "errors of law" and that the US charges against him are "...
