TL;DR Summary

Julian Assange's fight to avoid extradition to the U.S. may be reaching its conclusion as he faces a final court hearing in London. The WikiLeaks founder, indicted on 18 charges related to the publication of classified documents, argues that he acted as a journalist to expose U.S. military wrongdoing. His wife warns that his health is deteriorating in prison and fears for his life if extradited. The outcome of the hearing could lead to his transfer to the U.S. or further appeals, with concerns raised about his ability to receive a fair trial and the impact on his mental and physical well-being.
