that the extradition order for Assange had been signed"following consideration by both the Magistrates Court and High Court."
“In this case, the UK courts have not found that it would be oppressive, unjust or an abuse of process to extradite Mr Assange," they said."Nor have they found that extradition would be incompatible with his human rights, including his right to a fair trial and to freedom of expression, and that whilst in the U.S. he will be treated appropriately, including in relation to his health.”
Assange’s lawyers told the court that even though the U.S. had assured reasonable treatment of the WikiLeaks founder, there was still a risk that he could take his own life if extradited. They also urged the court to ignore the U.S.'s assurances that Assange would not be subjected to harsh detention conditions, known as Special Administrative Measures.with NBC News in December, Assange’s brother, Gabriel Shipton, said his family feared Assange would “not survive” extradition to the U.S.
Assange and WikiLeaks came under the international spotlight after releasing footage from a 2007 airstrike in Baghdad that had resulted in the deaths of two Reuters journalists and others.Released under the title"Collateral Murder," the video sparked widespread upset among Americans about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
