The United States won an appeal in London's High Court to have Wikileaks founder Julian Assange extradited to face criminal charges, including breaking a spying law and conspiring to hack government computers:

Mr Assange is wanted to face trial for the publication by WikiLeaks in 2010 of classified military documents relating to the US wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.Lord Chief Justice Lord Burnett and Lord Justice Holroyde ruled in favour of the US on Friday. The long-running case has become a cause celebre for free speech, with Mr Assange's supporters arguing WikiLeaks has the same rights as other media to publish secret material in the public interest.

Mr Assange has been in custody since 2019, despite having served a previous sentence for breaching bail conditions in a separate case.

Total disgrace!!!

USA didn’t win anything. Corrupt British judicial systems obeyed the command. Cowardly regime in Canberra and Westminster followed the orders.

Are the leaked documents still accessible? I’d love to help spread them acrotthe internet. Make them so ubiquitous it highlights the pointlessness of ant trial.

Criminal charges for jus telling the truth? Is this the so-called democratic system we are believing?

Oh. Serious stuff but he knew what he was doing and the risks involved. 1000 hours of community service for him

America's message to the world has always been clear: By all means criticize violations of international law and human rights abuses by others, but shine a light on us or Israel and we'll come after you.

USA government are the criminals here, Assange dared to tell the truth and expose war crimes from the worlds largest source of war crimes. Biden could stop all this but he is not allowed too.

FreeJulianAssangeNOW the truth hurts for these, that demand his return!! Where's the human rights here!! Boycott America!!

This is wrong. So very wrong.

The American government will suicide him soon you wait !

FreeAssangeNOW AlboMP ScottMorrisonMP

It's on a par with the Myanmar/Burmese military's imprisonment of Aung San Suu Kyi. He would probably be elected to the Australian Senate next election if he were released now.

Good. If he is innocent of the allegations made against him, he will be freed; if he is guilty, then he deserves whatever punishment The judge allocates to him. The upside is he might get to make some new friends!

🤬🤬🤬🤬

This is disgusting.

May Aust govt grow a conscience and stand up for journalists.

This is so totally fucked up . The legal system in Britain is irretrievably broken as is Julian. State-sanctioned torture continues.

This is appalling,the Australian government should show some backbone and intervene, this is state sponsored torture!

Wow what a setback justice prevails

The world knows who the real criminals are in this disgraceful decision! Britain is frightened of the United States. Britain and the US continue to aid Saudi Arabia to commit genocide in Yemen. Unlike genocide accusations against China this genocide is there for everyone to see.

😱😓😓

Next minute: Julian Assange commits suicide in his cell. Oh and there is no footage because the cameras broke just on that night
