The High Court of London decided this Tuesday to allow the Australian journalist
Julian Assange to continue appealing his case in the United Kingdom
and, therefore, has not yet given the green light to his extradition to the United States, a country that wants him for 18 crimes of espionage and computer intrusion.
Thus, the judges
have asked the US to give more guarantees about how Assange would be tried on its territory.
Asssange is wanted for
the Wikileaks scandal.
What is Wikileaks?
The case was one of the largest leaks of confidential information in modern history.
It began in 2010 when the website Wikileaks, founded by Julian Assange,
published thousands of classified US government documents.
These documents revealed information about US military, diplomatic and intelligence operations around the world.
The Wikileaks scandal generated great controversy and debate around the world.
On the one hand, many considered the publication of this information to be a violation of national security and endangered US people and operations. On the other hand, others saw Wikileaks as a platform for transparency and whistleblowing. of possible human rights violations and corruption by the government.
