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 of secret American military documents. But according to Newser, whichever side loses is expected to appeal, which could lead to years more legal wrangling. Stella Moris is Assange's partner and the mother of his two sons. She's appealed to President Trump via Twitter to grant a pardon to Assange before he leaves office. Lawyers for the US government said in their hearing in the fall that Assange's defense team had raised issues that were neither relevant nor admissible.
Julian Assange's partner Stella Moris says 'today is a victory for Julian' and a 'first step towards justice' but adds that she is 'extremely concerned that the US government has decided to appeal this decision'. SOUNDBITE
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will be sentenced for breaching a British court order seven years ago, when he took refuge in Ecuador's London embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden. The Australian whistleblower, who was arrested on April 11 after Ecuador gave him up, could face a 12-month prison sentence. IMAGES of the arrival of the prison van carrying Julian Assange
