A British court is expected to rule on Thursday whether Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange, should be extradited to Sweden where he's accused of sex crimes. The verdict will mark a turning point in the three-month battle in British courts.

During legal arguments earlier this month, Assange's lawyers said he would not get a fair trial in Sweden. But Swedish prosecutors say the Australian must return to Stockholm to face accusations by two women that he sexually abused them last summer.

Under Swedish law, Assange is accused of two counts of sexual molestation, one of unlawful coercion, and the other of rape.
