[HIGHLIGHTS] Last resorts for Julian Assange, threatened with extradition to the United States

High Court in London is due to consider his appeal request regarding possible extradition. Julian Assange would then be extradited to the United States, which accuses him of espionage.

New editor-in-chief of WikiLeaks, Kristinn Hraffnson, says it is about freedom of the press. If British justice validates the extradition, Julian Assange's team will refer it to the European Court of Human Rights. The conditions of Julian Assange’s detention in the U.S. could amount to torture, the United Nations says.
