In a major setback to
jailed WikiLeaks founder and journalist, Julian Assange, a UK High Court judge
dismissed his appeal against his extradition to the U.S. In a 3-page decision
handed down on Tuesday, June 6, Justice Jonathan Swift of the High Court of Justice
in London rejected all eight grounds of appeal against the extradition order
that was sanctioned by the UK Home Office around a year ago.
