Activists in favour of the release of Julian Assange, detained in the United Kingdom for extradition to the United States, on 11 April, 2022.A UK court on Wednesday issued a formal order to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the United States to face trial over the publication of secret files relating to the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.

Stella Morris the wife of Julian Assange talks to the media outside Westminster Magistrates' Court in London, after Wikileaks founder Julian Assange was formally issued with an order for extradition to the US to face espionage charges, on Wednesday, 20 April, 2022.But Mr Assange's lawyers have vowed to make representations to Ms Patel and potentially launch further appeals on other points in the case.

Washington wants to put him on trial in connection with the publication of 500,000 secret military files relating to the US-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. But the US government appealed, and at a two-day appeal hearing in October its lawyers pointed to diplomatic assurances that Mr Assange would not be held in punishing isolation at a federal supermax prison, and would receive appropriate care.
