Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has won the right to have his case against extradition to Sweden heard by the UK Supreme Court. He lost a High Court battle last month to halt his removal for questioning over alleged sex offences and made the application to the UK's highest court. Judges ruled his case raised a question "of general public importance".

Assange denies raping a woman and sexually molesting another in Stockholm in August 2010, says this BBC report.
