Assange's wife announced the preparation of a submission to the British Home Office in the case of extradition

"We are about to submit a motion to Home Secretary Priti Patel to block Julian's extradition to the US," she tweeted.

On April 20, a court in London issued an extradition order for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States.

The final decision will be made by British Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Assange's defense has until May 18 to present their arguments to the Interior Minister not to extradite him to the United States.

As recalled in the Russian Foreign Ministry, the persecution of Assange began, among other things, because he revealed the truth about the war crimes of American and British military personnel in Iraq.
