TL;DR

Julian Assange's US extradition appeal hearing at the UK High Court began without his presence due to health reasons, with his lawyers arguing that he is being prosecuted for ordinary journalistic practices. If he loses this appeal, his only remaining option would be at the European Court of Human Rights. Assange faces 17 charges under the Espionage Act for publishing classified US military documents, and his supporters fear for his health and safety if extradited to the US. The hearing continues on Wednesday.
