Shock and anger was expressed outside the Royal Court of Justice in London, Friday, as the court ruled that jailed journalist Julian Assange can be extradited to the US to face espionage charges.
The decision overturned a previous ruling that the Wikileaks founder could not be forcefully shipped to the US due to mental health concerns.
Assange, 50, is wanted in the US on allegations of conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information after Wikileaks famously posted thousands of leaked documents spilling the beans on Western crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.
His supporters believe he is a true journalist whose only crime in exposing corruption and war criminals. Assange's friends, family and supporters are deeply disappointed but his legal team made clear that the fight is far from over. Meaning this certainly won't be the last time we are outside the Court of Justice.
