The final hearing in the case will take place this Tuesday. Julian Assange demands extradition to the US Where accused of espionage and piracy. There he faces 175 years in prison. The British justice system has already sanctioned it and the government has signed it.

Therefore, this appeal is the last chance for Assange. The hearing, which ends on Wednesday, began without the presence of Assange, who He felt unwell and was unable to attend the trialAccording to his lawyer Edward Fitzgerald.

Stella Assangewho leads her husband’s defense and is the mother of his two children, born during his detention in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, explained RFI which is not very optimistic:

There is evidence that the US tried to attack Julian, and the British court turned a blind eye and did not take these reports into account.

If the Supreme Court rules, they will allow a full hearing on his extradition. Otherwise, he will be extradited and the defense will ask the Strasbourg court to stop him and wait for him to act.

One of the defense’s main arguments is that Assange and Wikileaks exposed US war crimes.

“The only option for Julian’s release is a political decision. Washington’s decision to drop the case is an agreement between the Australian and American governments,” says Stella Assange.
