Protesters calling for the release of incarcerated WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange hold placards outside the Royal Courts of Justice in London during an appeal hearing by the US government against the UK's refusal to extradite him on October 27, 2021. - The US government is appealing against a British judge's decision to block the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to face trial for publishing military secrets. Assange, 50, was arrested in Britain in 2019 for jumping bail after spending seven years inside the Ecuadorian embassy to avoid extradition to Sweden where he faced allegations of sexual assault. These were later dropped. Despite his extradition being blocked, he has been denied bail pending the outcome of the US appeal, amid fears he would abscond. (Photo by JUSTIN TALLIS / AFP)
