Julian Assange has finally been given a green signal to be extradited to the USA by the Uk home office. This came as a sudden shock to everyone who supported the free press. While many have already started a campaign in support of Julian on Twitter.
What is the latest update on Julian Assange?
On June 17, the British authorities ordered Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, to be extradited to the United States to face spying charges. Priti Patel, the Home Secretary, signed the order authorising Assange’s extradition to the United States, where he faces up to 175 years in prison if proven guilty by a US court.
The case against Assange stems from the 2010 leak of hundreds of thousands of sensitive papers, as well as diplomatic cables, revealing Western atrocities and excesses in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, including a video depicting the merciless death of innocent civilians.
