WORLD NEWS TOMORROW ? WIKILEAKS founder Julian Assange will find out next week if he will be extradited to Sweden to face sex crime allegations. Lawyers for Assange had asked the UK?s highest court to block the move, claiming the European arrest warrant issued against was ?invalid and unenforceable?. A panel of seven Supreme Court judges, who heard the case in February, will give their judgment next Wednesday.The Swedish authorities want Assange, 40, to answer accusations of raping one woman and sexually molesting and coercing another in Stockholm in August 2010, while on a visit to deliver a lecture there.
Assange, whose WikiLeaks website has published a mass of leaked diplomatic cables that embarrassed several governments and international businesses, says the sex was consensual and the allegations against him are politically motivated.In November 2011, the High Court upheld a ruling by District Judge Howard Riddle ? who sat at Belmarsh Magistrates? Court, South London, in February 2011? that the Australian computer expert should be extradited to face investigation.
If the Supreme Court rejects his appeal it will mark the end of his lengthy UK legal battle.
