<p>WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is to be told whether he will be extradited to Sweden for alleged sex offences.</p>
<p>The 39-year-old Australian faces three charges of sexually assaulting one woman and one charge of raping another during a week-long visit to Stockholm in August.</p>
<p>During a two-and-a-half-day extradition hearing earlier this month at Belmarsh Magistrates&#8217; Court in south London, Assange&#8217;s lawyers argued that if he is sent to Sweden he is likely to face a &#8220;secret&#8221; trial held behind closed doors.</p>
<p>They have also claimed extradition would breach his human rights and say he could ultimately be taken against his will to the United States and executed.</p>
<p>District Judge Howard Riddle will deliver his judgment on whether the whistleblower should be forced to return to the country to stand trial.</p>
<p>But his ruling is unlikely to mark the end of the saga.</p>
<p>If the decision goes against him, Assange is expected to appeal to the High Court.</p>
<p>And if it goes in his favour, lawyers acting on behalf of the Swedish authorities are expected to do likewise.</p>
<p>Assange denies committing any offences and his supporters claim the criminal inquiry and extradition request are unfair and politically motivated.</p>
