On mental health grounds, a British court declared on 4 January that Australian journalist and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange can not be extradited to the United States.
Assange has been in Belmarsh prison since April 2019, after spending almost seven years as a refugee in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
