Julian Assange's extradition to the US has moved a step closer after a court order.
Westminster Magistrates' Court has formally issued an order to extradite the WikiLeaks founder after years of legal toing and froing. Home Secretary Priti Patel will need to approve the order, although defence lawyers may yet appeal to the High Court.An extradition order was issued by chief magistrate Paul Goldspring during a seven-minute hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.
Mr Goldspring said:"In layman's terms, I am duty bound to send your case to the Secretary of State for a decision."Outside the court, scores of supporters gathered carrying placards reading"Don't extradite Assange".
Don’t think magistrates have that power to do that
Hope it happens fast.
