Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the implications for the UK's commitment to human rights of their support for the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States, to face a prison term potentially in excess of 50 years.

This specific case is subject to ongoing court proceedings, so we are unable to comment further.
