UK's Home Secretary Priti Patel has approved Wikileaks founder Julian Assange's extradition to the US, noting that the courts found that the measure would not be "incompatible with his human rights", reports said on Friday.
Patel also noted while in the US, "he will be treated appropriately", the BBC reported.
The Australian is being held at Belmarsh prison in London after mounting a lengthy battle to avoid being extradited.
Responding to the Home Secretary's order, Wikileaks confirmed that it would appeal her decision.
