Danger of torture: UN expert concerned about Wikileaks founder Assange. Assange faces up to 175 years in prison if extradited to the USA.
A hearing on Assange's possible extradition is scheduled to take place at the High Court in London on February 20th and 21st. Many are loudly calling for the journalist's release, but the USA has been insisting for years on the extradition of the 52-year-old, who has been imprisoned in Great Britain since 2019. According to the UN expert, he has been suffering from depression for a long time and is at risk of suicide.
