Assange has been under house arrest in Norfolk, Britain, for 486 days.

Any day now Britain's Supreme Court will issue a ruling on whether or not the European Arrest Warrant (EAW) issued for WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange is valid, a decision that will determine if Assange is extradited to Sweden to face allegations of sexual assault.

The EAW system increases the speed and ease of extradition throughout EU countries.

Assange, 40, had consensual sex with two women in Sweden in August 2010. He is accused of refusing to use a condom in one instance and having intercourse with the other women while she was not fully awake.

Assange denies both claims. He is currently under house arrest outside London.
