An English court decided on Tuesday whether to extradite Julian Assange to the US the world

This may be the last chance to avoid extradition to the US in British courts. The United Kingdom agreed to handover in 2022. Since then, Assange has tried to reverse the decision.

US prosecutors want to prosecute Assange, 52, over the release of classified US military records and diplomatic cables by WikiLeaks.

The Americans argue that the leaks put the lives of their agents at risk and that there was no motive for the crime. Assange's supporters see him as a journalistic hero who has been prosecuted for exposing America's wrongdoings.

Attempts to avoid extradition

Assange's first attempt to appeal transfer was denied. Last month, his lawyers tried to overturn the decision.

If Assange wins, there will be a new hearing to reconsider his challenge. If he loses, his last resort Appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.

His wife Stella Assange wrote on the X Network (formerly Twitter) that the time had come: “Tomorrow is the end,” she said.

Assange's Legal Conflicts

During the hearings in February, Assange's team argued that the case was politically motivated and that he was being targeted for exposing “state-level crimes”.

They said former US President Donald Trump had asked for “detailed options” on how to kill him.

U.S. prosecutors say he was not prosecuted for releasing the leaked materials, but for aiding and abetting in obtaining them illegally with former U.S. military intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning, revealing the names of sources and “putting these individuals at risk of harm.”
