In January a British judge turned down the US request to extradite Assange on the grounds there was a high risk of him committing suicide in American custody. The decision came 18 months after Jeffrey Epstein was found hanged in a US jail, where he was awaiting trial on under-age sex trafficking charges.
The US government has given assurances to the UK WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange could serve his sentence in Australia, the country of his birth, if he is convicted in the US, a legal document has shown.
Washington also provided assurances to the Court of Appeal in London that Assange, 50, will be provided with "any such clinical and psychological treatment as is recommended by a qualified treating clinician" at a prison, where he will be kept in custody.
