A British judge ruled on Monday that WikiLeaksâ founder Julian Assange should not be extradited to the United States to face charges of breaking a spying law and conspiring to obtain secret US documents by hacking government computers. The US authorities accuse Australian-born Assange, 49, of 18 counts relating to Wikileaksâ release of vast troves of confidential US military records and diplomatic cables which they said had put lives in danger. His lawyers had argued the entire prosecution was politically-motivated, powered by US President Donald Trump and that his extradition posed a severe threat to the work of journalists.
