A London court is set to deliver a crucial judgment on Tuesday regarding WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's potential final appeal in England to contest extradition to the United States on espionage charges. The ruling by two judges in the High Court could either conclude Assange's protracted legal battle or prolong it further.
If Assange is denied the right to appeal, there are concerns from his legal team that he may face swift extradition to the U.S. to face charges. However, they intend to seek intervention from the European Court of Human Rights to prevent any transfer.
