LONDON: A court has ruled that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the United States.

The judge blocked the request because of concerns over Mr Assange's mental health and risk of suicide in the US.

The 49-year-old is wanted over the publication of thousands of classified documents in 2010 and 2011.
