WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will learn if he can mount a likely final UK challenge against extradition to the United States to stand trial for publishing secret military and diplomatic files.

The US wants the 52-year-old Australian citizen to face charges there in connection with WikiLeaks' 2010 publication of hundreds of thousands of files relating to the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

If he loses, he will have exhausted all UK appeals and will enter the extradition process, although his team have indicated they will appeal to European courts and would be given 14 days to do so.
