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.
英國高等法院結束了對維基解密創始人朱利安·阿桑奇的上訴,阿桑奇反對以間諜罪被引渡到美國。
The judges say they will give their decision at a later date.
法官們表示,他們將在晚些時候做出決定。
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.
在兩天的法庭審理期間,阿桑奇的律師團隊申請審查時任英國內政大臣帕特爾2022年所作批準向美國引渡阿桑奇的決定,并對2021年高等法院的裁決提出質疑。他們強調,美國當局因為阿桑奇揭露美國政府的暴行而尋求懲罰他,如被送往美國,阿桑奇可能會遭受司法不公。代表美國政府的律師則主張,阿桑奇泄露的文件損害了美國的安全和情報部門。
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".
阿桑奇目前被關押在英國倫敦貝爾馬什監獄。阿桑奇連續兩天沒有出席庭審。他的妻子斯特拉說,阿桑奇本想參加庭審,但“身體狀況不佳”。
