Julian Assange was denied the right to appeal to the U.K.’s highest court his extradition to the U.S. where he would face criminal espionage charges.
The country’s Supreme Court refused Assange’s request to appeal his U.S. extradition because the application “does not raise an arguable point of law,” in a written statement Monday.
The decision is the latest blow to Assange after London judges ruled that the WikiLeaks chief could be extradited in December, overturning a lower court’s decision.
