Julian Assange faces further wait on whether he can appeal against US extradition ruling |

Wikileaks founder Julian Assange faces a further wait to see whether he can appeal against his extradition to the US.

Assange has been in a UK prison since 2019 and is wanted by the US for disclosing secret military files in 2010 and 2011.

In 2021, the UK High Court ruled that he should be extradited to the US, dismissing claims that his poor mental health meant he might take his own life in a US jail.

He is now facing a further wait to find out whether he can bring an appeal against his extradition to the US, the UK High Court has ruled.
