The Wikileaks founder will be granted leave to appeal his extradition to the US if the US and UK do not provide assurances in relation to the accepted grounds of the appeal.
Efforts to extradite Wikileaks founder Julian Assange from the UK to the US have gone on for years. Here’s what’s been going on and what might happen in court this time.

If the Swedish charges against Assange are revived he could face a second extradition request, on top of the existing request from the US. Then it will be up to the UK to decide which to prioritise.
