Home Office: Assange may challenge extradition decision to US within two weeks

“On June 17, after consideration by both the magistrates and the high court, Julian Assange was ordered to be extradited to the United States.

Assange retains the usual right of appeal within 14 days,” the statement said.

Earlier it became known that the head of the British Ministry of Internal Affairs, Priti Patel, decided to extradite Julian Assange to the United States, where he faces 175 years in prison.

WikiLeaks said the extradition decision will be contested.
