WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Friday lodged an appeal to Britain’s Supreme Court against a lower court’s decision to extradite him to the United States.
The U.S. government has levelled an 18-count superseding indictment against the 50-year-old Australian, meaning he would face a 175-year prison sentence if convicted. However, the U.S. authorities said in its appeal that a sentence of between three and six years was more likely.
