June 17, 2022 at 11:21 Approves extradition of Assange Britain insists that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will be extradited to the United States. It reports Reuters. A British court in January 2021 rejected the request for extradition, but the decision was overturned by a higher court. In January, the High Court in London ruled that the case could be appealed, but this decision was set aside. The case therefore ended up with Interior Minister Priti Patel, who came to a decision today. Assange has been charged with several offenses in the United States, including espionage after Wikileaks published half a million documents in 2010 about US warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq.
