Assange’s partner and mother of two of his children,Stella Moris,said his lawyers would appeal the “abusive and vindictive” prosecution.
“Julian’s lawyers are intending to appeal to the Supreme Court on this decision,” she told supporters outside the court.
“For how long can this go on? We will fight,every generation has an epic fight to fight and this ours.”
Assange will remain in Belmarsh Prison until a final decision is made.
He is wanted by the US Department of Justice on 18 counts over the leaking of hundreds of thousands of classified cables obtained by hacking more than a decade ago.
