Julian Assange loses appeal

The British Supreme Court has denied Julian Assange's appeal against extradition to Sweden over sexual abuse allegations.



However, the lawyers for the Wikileaks founder say they will be challenging the ruling as the judges made their decision based on issues that were not argued in court.



For one and a half year, Assange has been fighting against being sent to Sweden for questioning about accusations of sexual abuse.



In August 2010, two women in Sweden accused Assange of sexually assaulting them during a visit to the country in connection with a WikiLeaks release of internal U.S. military documents.
