Julian Assange wins US extradition appeal, risking 175 years in prison

Julian Assange wins US extradition appeal, risking 175 years in prison
The High Court in London has accepted the appeal of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is in danger of being extradited to the United States.

Assange faces up to 175 years in prison after Washington accused the Australian of leaking in 2010 more than 700,000 documents about US military and diplomatic activities, mainly in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Assange has been held in Belmarsh prison in London since 2019.

He had previously spent nearly seven years hiding in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London, protected by asylum status, avoiding extradition to Sweden.
