Julian Assange faces 175 years in prison in the United States for leaks of confidential documents. He was arrested by British police in 2019 after seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.

In the event of defeat, Julian Assange could only appeal to the European Court of Human Rights in the hope of having the extradition suspended, but the deadlines look very tight, writes Europe 1.
