UK judge blocks US request for Julian Assange to be extradited to the US for trial. “

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the United States, a judge at the Old Bailey has ruled. Judge Vanessa Baraitser has ruled against extraditing Assange to the US due to the potential risks to his health and well-being.”

Assange had been indicted in the United States on 17 charges of violating the Espionage Act.
