Assange's partner: "Today is a victory for Julian"

London, Jan 4 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Vickie Flores/Facundo Arrizabalaga)A British court on Monday rejected a request by the United States to extradite the founder of whistleblowing website WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, on the grounds that it would be detrimental to his mental health and that he would be a suicide risk.

Assange, an Australian citizen, is accused by the US of espionage over the publication of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011.
