Assange to be extradited to Sweden
Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks, will be extradited from the UK to Sweden to face questioning over rape allegations. Britain's High Court has decided that there is enough evidence against the Australian citizen to grant the request, RT reported.
Judges John Thomas and Duncan Ouseley ruled Wednesday that Julian Assange, who attended the court to hear the verdict, should be extradited to Sweden to be questioned over allegations of sexual molestation and rape in Stockholm last year.
Assange, 40, has been consistently denying all allegations, insisting that the case has been inspired by political motivations. WikiLeaks’ Australian founder’s lawyers are now preparing to appeal the High Court decision in the Supreme Court.
