A UK court has refused a US extradition request for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. What happens now?
In a ruling that was more than a decade in the making, a UK court has refused a US request that WikiLeaks co-founder Julian Assange be extradited to the United States to face 18 charges, including espionage.
