WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is trying from this Tuesday to obtain from British justice a last resort against his extradition to the United States. As the hearing approaches, his supporters warned of the risks weighing on the life of the 52-year-old Australian.

“If he loses, there is no longer any possibility of appealing” in the United Kingdom, his wife Stella Assange told the BBC. The founder of WikiLeaks was arrested by British police after seven years in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
