A court in London ruled on Friday that the US can extradite the founder of Wikileaks to face hacking charges.
A UK court ruled earlier this year that he was at risk of suicide and self harm if he were extradited to the US.
The US accuses the founder of the website of conspiring to hack government computers and breaching the Espionage Act after he published a trove of confidential military and diplomatic documents.
There are 18 charges against him in the US.
After years in the embassy in London, he was forcibly removed and arrested in April 2019.
The US wanted to extradite him.
He has been in prison in the UK since he was arrested.
Asssange and his team have been fighting to have him extradited to the US.
The UK Home Secretary will make a decision on the matter.
The summary of the decision said that the US assured the UK that if he was sent to the US, he would receive appropriate clinical and psychological treatment.
An investigation by Yahoo News found that the CIA had considered kidnapping or murdering the founder of the website, but the plans were not adopted.
"How can it be fair, how can it be right, how can it be possible to extradite him to the country that plotted to kill him?", said his fiancée.
The ruling was criticized by a human rights group.
The group has spoken out against the US government's pursuit of Assange, saying that it was nothing short of a full-scale assault on the right to freedom.
