What is extradition and how does it work?
The extradition of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange to the US has been approved by UK Home Secretary Priti Patel.
At the time, he had been facing extradition to Sweden on allegations of sexual assault - a case that was later dropped.Extradition allows one country to ask another to hand over a suspect to face trial. If the request has been made correctly, the home secretary sends it on to the courts, which issue a warrant for the suspect to be found and arrested.
The self-confessed hacker was wanted for targeting US government computers, but the UK said he was too ill to face trial abroad.No. Under British law, many nations do not have to provide our judges with detailed evidence that the suspect is guilty.
