A British judge on Wednesday sent out the case of Julian Assange to interior minister Priti Patel who will choose whether the Wikileaks creator needs to be extradited to the United States over the release of personal U.S. files.
The procedural action, in what has actually been a long-running and prominent legal fight, was revealed at a hearing in main London following a March choice to reject Australian- born Assange consent to appeal versus his extradition.
The extradition order need to now be signed by Patel, after which Assange can attempt to challenge the choice by judicial evaluation. A judicial evaluation includes a judge taking a look at the authenticity of a public body’s choice.
Assange, 50, is desired in the United States on 18 criminal charges, consisting of breaking a spying law, after WikiLeaks released countless secret U.S. files in 2010.
He rejects any misbehavior.
Assange has actually remained in a southeast London prison given that 2019, and prior to that was holed up in the Ecuadorean Embassy in the British capital for 7 years.
