The U.K. has approved the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the U.S., where he is wanted over the publication of hundreds of thousands of classified military documents and diplomatic cables.

The deportation was approved Friday by U.K. Home Secretary Priti Patel following a series of failed legal battles in the U.K. courts. However, a number of appeal routes remain open to Assange, who has 14 days to appeal the decision.

Assange is wanted by U.S. authorities on 18 counts, including a spying charge, relating to WikiLeaks’ release in 2010 of vast troves of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables, which they claim had put lives in danger.

“On 17 June, following consideration by both the Magistrates Court and High Court, the extradition of Mr Julian Assange to the US was ordered. Mr Assange retains the normal 14-day right to appeal,” a U.K. Home Office spokesperson said.

“In this case, the UK courts have not found that it would be oppressive, unjust or an abuse of process to extradite Mr Assange. Nor have they found that extradition would be incompatible with his human rights, including his right to a fair trial and to freedom of expression, and that whilst in the US he will be treated appropriately, including in relation to his health.”

This is a breaking story and will be updated shortly.

He's gonna die, either there by suicide or over here in some federal cell. RIP.

Priti Patel: SEE! WE'RE KICKIN' OUT THE WHITE ONES TOO! SHUT YER 'OLES!

Time to Mcafee, it's a better fate than the US "justice" system.

Now might be a good time for Albo to pull the finger out and offer Assange some assistance.

Albo isn't going to do shit. Pre-election statements are meaningless.

 

[Bum Driller]

Saddest part of all is that Assange achieved nothing by what he did. Nothing has changed, masses of humanity don't care about anything he revealed, and the same people are still in power.

Dems want to settle some scores with him after he ratted Clinton out in 2016.

 

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Huh I could leave a thunk.

Anyways this is unfortunate.

And his only crime was doing good journalism.

Motherfuck the uniparty.

"How about don't break the law if you don't want people to know you're breaking the law?"

"Nah, we'll just kill the journalist."

No Assange did achieve something. This whole situation blackpilled a shitload of people. If that's not an achievement idk what is.

I am still confused over something.

How the fuck did a "rape charge" in Sweden lead to this.

And IIRC the rape charge was forced by the Swedish government when the women in question dropped their accusations of rape.

But running to the UK was a giant mistake as well though I guess this was before the West in general dropped the farce of being a "free and open" society.

I think the UK was just where he ended up. Sweden would have sent him to the USA. The rape charge, whether it had merit or not, was being used as a way to get him back to Sweden so they could hand him on. I'm not sure what his opportunities were to go elsewhere.

In any case, he did nothing wrong regards publishing the information. He didn't steal it. It was sent to him and he published it with some redactions for safety, and thereby exposed a whole tonne of wrong-doing by the US. But short of a radical president pardoning him, the Deep State will either kill him or put him in solitary confinement for decades. They hate any resistance.
