Al Jazeera English published this video item, entitled “UK judge blocks US request to extradite Assange” – below is their description.
A British judge has ruled that Julian Assange should not be extradited to the United States to face espionage charges, saying that such a move would be “oppressive” because of the WikiLeaks founder’s mental health.
He is wanted there on espionage charges for the publication of thousands of secret US military documents in 2010 and 2011.
And US authorities are now expected to appeal against the decision.
