The founder of Wikileaks Julian Assange could be extradited to the U.S. within 14 days as British Interior Minister Priti Patel certified the legal decision. Patel's Home Office department said UK courts have found Assange is not at risk of oppression, abuse or unjust sanctions if he is sent across the Atlantic, while Wikileaks, the website run by the Australian, said the decision marks a "dark day" for press freedom and UK democracy. It added it would continue its legal challenges against the extradition.
