A British High Court ruled on Monday that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can appeal his extradition to the United States where he faces espionage charges.

Wikileaks’ Assange will not be whisked away by U.S. Marshals but will remain in the high-security Belmarsh prison while challenging the extradition order.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange faces a court hearing in London that could end with him being sent to the U.S. to face espionage charges, or provide him another chance to appeal his extradition

The U.S. Justice Department indicted Assange in 2019 on 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse over his publication of classified U.S. diplomatic and military documents.
