Ralling for founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, after his UK Supreme Court Extradition Ruling



Thursday 31 May, 5pm

Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade,

123 Pitt St, Sydney, CBD

The judgment of WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange's final appeal against extradition to Sweden will be published by the UK Supreme Court on Wednesday 30 May.

If Assange loses he will be sent to Sweden by force within 10 days. From Sweden, he could be sent immediately to the US where he faces prosecution for publishing information just like any other journalist. Even if he wins the appeal, the US will likely seek to extradite him from the UK or Australia.
