"High Court Ruling on Julian Assange's Extradition Appeal Expected Tuesday"

The British High Court will rule on Tuesday whether Julian Assange will be extradited to the U.S. to face espionage charges for publishing classified U.S. military documents 14 years ago. If the court disallows a full appeal, Assange's remaining options would be limited, and he could face trial in the U.S. where he is facing 17 charges. His supporters fear an unfavorable result would result in his extradition, and if convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 175 years in an American maximum-security prison.
