Britain gives nod to US request to extradite WikiLeaks founder

Home Secretary Priti Patel's ministry said Assange had 14 days to appeal against the decision, which comes after a British court issued a formal order clearing his removal in April.

Assange's supporters have held frequent rallies to protest against the planned deportation in what they claim is a defence of media freedom and free speech. His wife, Ms Stella Moris, has pleaded for his release from custody after they had two children in secret while he was holed up for years in Ecuador's London embassy.
