On Friday, the US government won an appeal to extradite Assange at the Royal Courts of Justice in London after a protracted battle.
The US government has pledged not to hold the Wikileaks founder in the high-security ADX prison in Colorado and have assured the judge that he could be transferred to Australia to serve his sentence if he is convicted.
Watch:Assange is now one step closer to being extradited to the United States
However, Assange's lawyer Barry Pollack called the decision by the UK court "highly disturbing" while declaring that US assurances were "vague".
The UK distict court judge earlier this year had blocked Assange's extradition declaring him a "suicide risk" if he was transferred to the US.
Assange had spent seven years at Ecuador's embassy in London but was forced to leave after he was dragged out by British officials in 2019 asthe new government refused to keep him.
The US Justice Department has charged Assange for conspiring with US Army intelligence analystChelsea Manning to leak documents related to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The controversial whistleblower had leaked a military video in 2010 which showed the US Apachehelicopter attack in Baghdad in which several civilians were killed. The video led to worldwide uproar as the US government moved to arrest Assange.
