WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has won his fight to avoid extradition to theUnited States.
District Judge Vanessa Baraitser said at the Old Bailey onMonday that, due to the real risk of suicide, the 49-year-old should not beextradited by āreason of mental healthā.
Assange, who sat in the dock of Court2 in a blue suit and wearing a green face mask below his nose, closed his eyesas the judge read out her ruling.
United States President Joe Biden says he is āconsideringā a request from Australia to drop the prosecution of Julian Assange. The WikiLeaks founder has been indicted on 17 espionage charges and one charge of computer misuse over his websiteās publication of classified U.S. documents relating to the Afghanistan and Iraq wars almost 15 years ago. The Australian national was taken to Belmarsh prison in London five years ago, after being dragged out of the Ecuadorian embassy, where he stayed while fighting against being taken to the US.

A woman who was shot dead outside a police station 21 years ago was unlawfully killed, a jury has concluded. Sabina Rizvi was 25 when she was shot and killed by unidentified assailants in March 2003 outside Bexleyheath police station in south-east London. An inquest into Ms Rizvi's death at the Old Bailey has been looking into whether officers at Bexleyheath police station knew that a gangland feud posed a risk to Sabina's life. The coroner today concluded that there was insufficient evidence to support that. Report by Jonesia.

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will find out Monday whether he can be extradited from the UK to the US.
Should the extradition be approved, Assange would face espionage charges over the publication..
Supporters waited for Julian Assange to depart Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, Januar 6 after his application for bail was not granted when he was deemed to be at risk of absconding.
Julian Assange's partner Stella Morris and WikiLeaks editor-in-chief Kristinn Hrafnsson both described the court's decision to deny Assange bail as "disappointing" on (January 6).
