Britain's Supreme Court will give its judgement in the case of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's long-running fight against extradition to Sweden on May 30.

The court announced the date in a statement on its website, saying the judgement would start at 0815 GMT (9:15 BST) and last around 10 minutes.

Assange took his case to the Supreme Court in February 2012, arguing that the Swedish prosecutor who ordered his arrest in December 2010 was not a proper judicial authority.

Sweden wants to question the 40-year-old Australian over allegations of rape and sexual assault, but Assange insists the sex was consensual and has argued that the attempt to extradite him is politically motivated.

WikiLeaks chief Julian Assange is to find out whether his bid to block extradition to Sweden has been successful. Britain's Supreme Court said the decision on his case will be announced on May 30.

His lawyers have asked the Supreme Court to rule that the European arrest warrant issued for him is invalid.

Assange is sought by Swedish prosecutors in relation to allegations of rape and sexual assault made against him by two Swedish women after he visited that country in 2010.
