WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange faces extradition hearing in U.K.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s fight to evade extradition from Britain to the United States to face spying charges may be nearing an end, after years of legal challenges.

The Australian-born activist and whistleblower, who has been held in a London prison since 2019, is set to appear in a courtroom Tuesday, where the High Court will listen to arguments over whether Assange can ask an appeals court to block his extradition.
