Julian Assange faces further wait on whether he can appeal against US extradition ruling | BBC News
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange faces a further wait to see whether he can appeal against his extradition to the US.
Assange has been in a UK prison since 2019 and is wanted by the US for disclosing secret military files in 2010 and 2011.
In 2021, the UK High Court ruled that he should be extradited to the US, dismissing claims that his poor mental health meant he might take his own life in a US jail.
He is now facing a further wait to find out whether he can bring an appeal against his extradition to the US, the UK High Court has ruled.

No Sir, the term of jail for skipping bail is not the reason he is currently being held in prison, he is there because the US Government asked for extradition of Julian Assange to the United States and the UK is keeping him in prison while the US tries to win the case to extradite him.

no he's being punished for publishing 3 million top secret documents that don't expose any crimes, they just embarrass and weaken USA and the West generally, that isn't journalism it's espionage. The gunship footage was only 1 of 3 million files so 1 crime per 3 million documents is a really good ratio.
Mexico just took out the former Equidorian president living in a Mexican embassy. I didn't hear anything about saving this guy. You are all tools for believing the USA has no right to convict this criminal. Also, I'm Australian and would have to face court for a minor infringement. 😂
I think his extradition request should be handled in precisely the same manner killer Anne Sacoolas's was.
I personally think Julian has served his sentence already by his self imprisonment to avoid an unfair sentence and the United States should give him a full pardon and stop all this nonsense..🌎👍
