UK High Court to determine if Assange can appeal extradition to US for espionage charges.

The UK High Court will decide on Monday if WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can appeal against his extradition to the US. Assange faces espionage charges for publishing classified government documents. The court will determine if the US has provided satisfactory assurances regarding Assange's treatment and rights if he is extradited. If successful, Assange may have further opportunities to argue his case in UK courts. If unsuccessful, he may appeal to the European Court of Human Rights.
