WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange will approach the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom to appeal against his extradition to Sweden to face sexual misconduct allegations.
According to the Daily Mail, Assange, who recently lost a London High Court battle against removal, has lodged an application to take his fight against extradition to senior judges in London.
He will be asking senior judges on December 5 to certify that his case raises a question of general public importance and should be considered by the highest court in the land.
Assange, an Australian, had decided to fight the case at London’s High Court after a judge at Belmarsh Magistrates’ Court ruled in February that the WikiLeaks head should be extradited.
The 40-year-old has not been charged with a crime, but Swedish prosecutors want to question him in connection with sexual misconduct allegations related to separate incidents in August 2010.
Assange has been denying the accusations.
