"WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on Monday won the right to petition the UK Supreme Court in his fight against extradition to Sweden on rape allegation.
The High Court in London ruled in his favour observing that Assange's case raised a question "of general public importance" which should be decided by the highest court in the land "as quickly as possible".
Swedish authorities want to question the Australian founder of the whistle-blowing website over accusations of rape and sexual assault made by two female former WikiLeaks volunteers during a visit there in August 2010.
Forty-year-old Assange, who has been living in Britain since his arrest here in December last year, denies wrongdoing."
