WIKILEAKED

Submitted by ub on

Julian Paul Assange is being extradited. He is the Australian editor, publisher, and activist who founded WikiLeaks back in 2006.

The American government has won its bid to overturn a British judge's ruling that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange should not be extradited to face charges in the United States.

The WikiLeaks founder is reportedly closer to being extradited from the UK to the USA after the American government wins the case. A British High Court has ruled that Assange can be extradited to the United States to face charges of violating the Espionage Act.

WikiLeaks came to international attention in 2010 when it published a series of leaks provided by U.S. Army intelligence analyst Chelsea Manning.

A British appellate court has opened the door for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to be extradited to the United States, overturning a lower court ruling. The decision can be appealed. http://apne.ws/kTfcv36
