Julian Assange can't be extradited to US due to suicide risk, rules UK court
A British judge on Monday rejected the US' request to extradite WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange to face espionage charges. Assange was likely to commit suicide if sent to US, District Judge Vanessa Baraitser said. Assange has been indicted on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over WikiLeaks' publication of leaked military and diplomatic documents a decade ago.
