Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks accusation site in the United Kingdom, has been ruled by a British court not to allow him to be handed over to the United States, which has been accused of being involved in unauthorized access to confidential information. Shown.
Julian Assange, who had been protected for almost seven years at the Ecuadorian embassy in London, rushed in for asylum, but was arrested for failing to appear on bail in another case. He was convicted and is currently in prison in the United Kingdom.
Assange, who founded the accusation site "WikiLeaks" and published confidential information such as the U.S. government on the Internet, was charged with unauthorized access by the U.S. judicial authorities, and was requested by the U.S. side. Correspondingly, a trial has been underway in a British court to decide whether to hand over.
On the 4th, a British court ruled that if the defendant was transferred to the United States, the defendant could commit suicide and would not allow the delivery.
In front of the court, supporters of the defendants who opposed the delivery gathered and welcomed them.
However, since the US side can appeal, there is a possibility that the dispute in court will be prolonged before the decision is given.
