Julian Assange's legal team tried but failed to adjourn the extradition hearing for the WikiLeaks founder until after the US presidential election | latikambourke
Julian Assange's legal team tried but failed to adjourn the extradition hearing for the WikiLeaks founder until after the US presidential election at a court hearing in London on Monday.
He was re-arrested on a new indictment containing the 18 charges, none of which were new although they were expanded in their detail. The Australian-born 49-year-old faces a jail term of up to 175 years if convicted in the United States. SECRET is the classification US officials give to information they deem would seriously damage national security if made public.
The US government says WikiLeaks put lives at risk when it published the names of Iraqi and Afghan human intelligence sources who provided information to the US government, as well as those of journalists, religious leaders, human rights advocates and political dissidents from repressive regimes.
