U.S. set to appeal U.K. refusal to extradite WikiLeaks' Assange
Posted on 2021-10-27 16:06:02
The U.S. government is scheduled to ask Britain's High Court to overturn a
judge's decision that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should not be sent to
the United States to face espionage charges.

A lower court judge refused extradition in January on health grounds, saying
Assange was likely to kill himself, if held under harsh U.S. prison
conditions.

Lawyers for U.S. authorities questioned the psychiatric evidence in the case,
and argued Assange is not so ill that he can't resist harming himself.

Two judges will hear the appeal today and tomorrow, though they are not
expected to rule immediately.

Assange is being held at London's high-security Belmarsh Prison, and is
expected to attend by video link.
