"Assange's Final Legal Battle: UK Court Decision on US Extradition Looms"

Julian Assange's legal team is making a final attempt in the UK High Court to avoid his extradition to the US, where he faces espionage charges and a potential life sentence. The two-day hearing will determine whether he can appeal a 2022 extradition decision, with his legal team arguing that the US' motivations are political and that extradition would violate a US-UK treaty. Supporters fear the impact on journalism if the extradition proceeds, while Assange's wife expresses grave concerns about his health and wellbeing.
