Julian Assange could be headed for the United States after the Department of Justice won an appeal in a British court that paves the way for the WikiLeaks founder to be extradited to America where he would stand trial for allegedly leaking classified secrets.

A two-judge panel ruled Friday that Assange's extradition could move forward after U.S. officials said they would abide by four conditions stipulated by a lower court judge who blocked the motion in January due to Assange's unstable mental health. The case will now go back to the district court with the direction that it should be sent to the U.K. home secretary to make the final decision.

Assange, who is wanted under the U.S. Espionage Act in connection to the leak of classified military and diplomatic documents in 2010, must be treated with care under the terms of the senior court ruling. Among the four assurances the U.S. agreed to are that it must not hold Assange under "special administrative measures," a designation that limits and monitors the communication of prisoners considered dangerous even with their attorneys.

The other three assurances are that he will not be held in a maximum security prison before or after trial, he will be returned to his native Australia to serve his sentence if convicted, and he will receive proper treatment for his mental and physical health while in custody.

Stella Moris, Assange's fiancee, called the ruling a "grave miscarriage of justice," according to a statement on the WikiLeaks's Twitter account.

“We will appeal this decision at the earliest possible moment,” she added.

The statement said Assange could not attend the appeal in person.

"A UK court has overturned an earlier decision blocking the extradition of Julian Assange to the United States where he is accused of publishing true information revealing crimes committed by the US government in the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, Iraq, and Afghanistan, and details of CIA torture and rendition," the statement said.

Assange is currently being held at Belmarsh Prison in London after British officials arrested him in 2019 in the Ecuadorian Embassy. His supporters say Wikileaks is a publisher and that any prosecution of Assange for publishing secrets is a violation of the First Amendment.
