- 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.
- In January, a lower court judge refused an American request to extradite Mr. Assange on spying charges over WikiLeaks’ publication of secret military documents a decade ago.
- District Judge denied extradition on health grounds, saying Mr. Assange was likely to kill himself if held under harsh U.S. prison conditions.
