WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange, who is battling extradition from Britain to the United States where he is wanted on criminal charges, has submitted an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the court confirmed on Friday.

Assange, 51, is wanted by U.S. authorities on 18 counts, including one under a spying act, relating to WikiLeaks' release of vast troves of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables which Washington said had put lives in danger.

Assange's brother Gabriel Shipton told Reuters earlier this week he believed the U.S. authorities would want to avoid the case going before the ECHR, as the European media and public were more sympathetic to his cause than those in Britain or the United States. The extradition was then ratified in June by the then British home secretary after the government said the courts had concluded it would not be unjust or an abuse of process, and that he would be treated appropriately.

Reuters is the same press that would hang Assange out to dry and attack him every chance you get.

The gross attempts over the years to paint him as some hero for free speech journalism is tiring. He is no hero. He is a traitor who worked with Putin and the GOP to get Trump elected and harm America.
