Sputnik comes to you with a live broadcast from London, where an announcement regarding the final decision on the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will be made by the high court.
Since 2019, Assange has been fighting against extradition to the US. He was transferred to London's high-security Belmarsh prison on bail breach charges. In the US, the founder of WikiLeaks is facing espionage charges for the mass publication of leaked documents concerning US activities in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Assange's legal team argues that his extradition would blatantly violate a US-UK treaty that prohibits extradition for political offenses. They emphasize that all Julian Assange and his team did was expose criminal actions by the US government, such as the torture of prisoners of war and political assassinations.
