British judges are set to rule on whether Wikileaks founder Julian Assange will be extradited to the U.S. or allowed to appeal the decision. Assange faces espionage charges for publishing classified U.S. military documents from 14 years ago. The ruling follows a recent hearing, and if extradited, he could face up to 175 years in a U.S. maximum-security prison. The U.S. prosecutors argue that his actions risked lives, but Assange’s supporters believe his extradition would be a danger.
