Lawyers for the American government presented arguments in a London court regarding the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States to face espionage charges. The defense team of the WikiLeaks founder seeks a new appeal before the High Court in an attempt to halt the extradition process, which has detained Assange in a British high-security prison for the past five years. The US government has indicted Assange on 17 charges of espionage and one charge of computer misuse related to the publication of classified documents on his website. Supporters argue he is a journalist who revealed US military misconduct, while prosecutors claim he put lives at risk by releasing sensitive information. Amid mounting legal battles, Assange’s health has reportedly deteriorated, raising concerns about his well-being as the extradition proceedings continue.
