WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange’s legal team has filed an application to appeal to Britain’s Supreme Court, after a lower court ruled this month that he can be extradited to the United States on spying charges.The lawyers on Thursday asked for permission to appeal the High Court’s ruling, arguing that the US government’s pledge that the founder of the whistleblowing website would not be subjected to extreme conditions in prison was conditional and could be changed at the discretion of US authorities.Stella Moris, a lawyer and the mother of Assange’s two children, said in a statement that a decision is not expected to be reached before the third week of January. The Supreme Court is Britain’s final court of appeal.
