A hearing in a London court ended without a verdict on Wednesday – the judges want to decide at a later date. The US Department of Justice wants to try the founder of Wikileaks in the US on charges of espionage. If convicted, he could face up to 175 years in prison.
Assange hopes for a last chance to fight his extradition. If his request for an appeal is not granted, his legal remedies in Britain will be exhausted. His only option would then be to go to the European Court of Human Rights.
The US government accuses Assange of stealing and publishing classified material from US military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan together with whistleblower Chelsea Manning, endangering the lives of US informants. Supporters see Assange as a journalist who exposed war crimes. The Australian is in a prison in London.
