The decision on whether WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will be extradited to the United States is expected to be made in March. This is stated on the WikiLeaks page on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
“March: Final decision on Julian Assange’s appeal in the United Kingdom,” the report stated.
Before that, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange filed Objection to extradition from England to the USA. Gareth Peirce, a senior partner at law firm Birnberg Peirce & Partners who represents Assange, said two appeals had been lodged with the UK Supreme Court on Thursday to challenge his extradition. The court now needs to decide whether to hear the objections.
Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, gained fame for publishing secret and confidential material from the governments of various countries, including the United States. He hid from persecution in the Ecuadorian embassy until 2019. In 2022, the UK Home Office decided to extradite the Wikileaks founder to the US, where he faces 175 years in prison.
