WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces a key hearing Monday in his decade-and-a-half-long attempt to avoid extradition to the United States on espionage charges.
Assange, 52, faces charges related to his organization's publication of a huge trove of classified documents. He has been in custody in a high-security London prison since 2019, and previously spent seven years in self-exile in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
