Wikileaks founder Julian Assange could be "dangerously close" to extradition to the US. A new appeal presented to the British High Court in order to stop the process for the transfer of the Australian activist was rejected.

But Stella Assange, the wife of the founder of Wikileaks, does not give up and announces that a "new appeal application to the High Court" will be presented as early as next week. The line chosen by Assange's lawyers is to question the order issued by the British government as it would violate the treaty with the US for political crimes.
