Today, a major development was announced in his case.
The deportation was approved Friday by U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel following a series of failed legal battles in British courts. However, a number of appeal routes remain open to Assange, who has 14 days to challenge the decision.
Assange is wanted by U.S. authorities on 18 counts, including a spying charge, relating to WikiLeaks’ release in 2010 and 2011 of vast troves of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables, which they claim had put lives in danger.
“On 17 June, following consideration by both the Magistrates Court and High Court, the extradition of Mr Julian Assange to the US was ordered. Mr Assange retains the normal 14-day right to appeal,” a U.K. Home Office spokesperson said.
“In this case, the UK courts have not found that it would be oppressive, unjust or an abuse of process to extradite Mr Assange. Nor have they found that extradition would be incompatible with his human rights, including his right to a fair trial and to freedom of expression, and that whilst in the US he will be treated appropriately, including in relation to his health.”
Attempts by the U.S. to extradite Assange have not been successful thus far. Judges in the U.K. have previously blocked American requests to extradite Assange because they deemed he was not in a proper enough state of mental health to be sent back.
Wikileaks reacted to the news via a statement posted on Twitter, in which the group called today a “dark day for press freedom.”

Don’t talk….box him up and ship him out.
I don’t think he will live long once he is in the USA . The USA ‘s human right policy is flawed
What did Assange do wrong? He told the truth which it is alien to politicians. What are the the man of poly-tics? Multiple bloodsuckers. Judges are very similar. They have big empty heads. Who made that decision? Some Patel? From India? He must have lost his way. It seems that some judges are a delight to surgeons for simplicity. No brains, no balls, no spine, no guts. Assange is a hero and should get the Nobel price for honesty.
As I recall, the guy who exposed the “Pentagon Papers” did not hide in any embassies and never endured prosecution. See the fawning film, “The Post,” where Tom Hanks plays Ben Bradley and Meryl Streep plays Catherine Graham of the Washington Post. The film depicts they guy as a hero. In Democrat Land, a hero is one who protects the interests of the commies.
The US commieCrats are salivating to bring Assange here so he can be Arkancided for spreading truth, that they try to label as ‘disinformation. Assange and Snowden each should receive the Medal of Freedom and be hailed as heroes. The DemonRats can’t handle the truth, and are scared s**tless that the American people WILL hear it when they no longer control the Congress after the midterms.
