Julian Assange can be extradited to US, UK court rules

London, Dec 10 (EFE).- (Camera: Andy Rain) The United Kingdom's High Court on Friday reversed a ruling against the extradition of Wikileaks whistleblower Julian Assange to the United States.

The US, where a grand jury has indicted Assange on 18 charges relating to espionage and computer intrusion, which could carry a sentence of up to 175 years, in October appealed an earlier decision by a district court judge to block his extradition citing mental health concerns.
