UK judge refuses to extradite WikiLeaks' Assange to US
By EUobserver
A British judge on Monday rejected a US request to extradite WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to face espionage charges, saying it would be "oppressive" because of his mental health, AP reports. District judge Vanessa Baraitser said Assange was likely to commit suicide if sent to the US. The US government said it would appeal the decision.
