Julian Assange has been in the British maximum security prison Belmarsh for almost five years. His fight not to be extradited to the USA has been going on for much longer. Now there could be a final decision: On Tuesday and Wednesday, the native Australian will be back in court at the British High Court in London. This decides whether the Wikileaks founder can continue to challenge the extradition to the USA approved by the British Home Office – or whether he has exhausted all legal options for objection in the British courts. In the United States he faces a prison sentence of up to 175 years for espionage.
