The United Kingdom High Court has concluded its hearing on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's appeal against his extradition to the United States on espionage charges.
英国高等法院结束了对维基解密创始人朱利安·阿桑奇的上诉,阿桑奇反对以间谍罪被引渡到美国。
The judges say they will give their decision at a later date.
法官们表示,他们将在晚些时候做出决定。
During the two-day court hearing, Assange's legal team applied for a review of the 2022 decision by then-British Home Secretary Patel to approve Assange's extradition to the United States, and challenged the 2021 High Court ruling. They stressed that Assange could suffer a miscarriage of justice if sent to the United States as U.S. authorities seek to punish him for exposing abuses by the U.S. government. Lawyers representing the US government have argued that the documents leaked by Mr Assange damaged the country's security and intelligence services.
在两天的法庭审理期间,阿桑奇的律师团队申请审查时任英国内政大臣帕特尔2022年所作批准向美国引渡阿桑奇的决定,并对2021年高等法院的裁决提出质疑。他们强调,美国当局因为阿桑奇揭露美国政府的暴行而寻求惩罚他,如被送往美国,阿桑奇可能会遭受司法不公。代表美国政府的律师则主张,阿桑奇泄露的文件损害了美国的安全和情报部门。
Assange is currently being held at Belmarsh prison in London. Assange did not attend the trial for the second day in a row. His wife, Stella, said Assange had wanted to attend the trial but was "not well".
阿桑奇目前被关押在英国伦敦贝尔马什监狱。阿桑奇连续两天没有出席庭审。他的妻子斯特拉说,阿桑奇本想参加庭审,但“身体状况不佳”。
