Julian Assange has been denied permission to appeal against the UK High Court’s decision in December 2021 to extradite him to the United States, the Supreme Court has confirmed.

On Monday, the UK’s highest court said that senior judges had refused Assange’s bid to challenge the decision as his application did not raise “an arguable point of law”.
