Aussie WikiLeaker Julian Assange is one step closer to being extradited to America to face charges of violating the espionage act and hacking into a government computer. On Friday, the US Government won its appeal in the British High Court against an earlier ruling that had blocked Assange’s deportation. US prosecutors regard Assange as an enemy of the state whose actions risked the lives of undercover agents because confidential diplomatic cables referencing their names were published by Wikileaks in 2010-11. The US Government says a sentence of 3-6 years was likely if he was convicted, but a maximum sentence could be as much as 100+ years. Assange’s fiancé and mother of his 2 children, lawyer Stella Morris, revealed that he had a stroke last year during the appeal hearing. However, it’s not over yet – legal experts say the legal wrangling could go on for years.
