The British High Court in London has ruled that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange
can take his challenge against extradition to the United States to another hearing.

Prosecutors in the US are seeking to put Assange, 52,
on trial on charges of espionage relating to WikiLeaks’s release of classified documents
relating to the US-led wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Julian Assange staves off extradition to US for now

London CNN —

Julian Assange has fended off the threat of immediate extradition to the United States to stand trial on charges that could see him spend the rest of his life behind bars, as the High Court in London signaled it may allow him to appeal his case.

The court gave the US government three weeks to give a series of assurances around Assange’s First Amendment rights and that he would not face the death penalty. If the US fails to give these assurances, Assange would be allowed to appeal his extradition.

At a two-day hearing last month, Assange sought permission to review the 2022 extradition decision signed off by the UK.

In a ruling Tuesday, a panel of two judges said that Assange would not be extradited immediately, giving the US a three-week window to provide assurances that he would enjoy similar legal rights as US citizens.

“If those assurances are not given, then leave to appeal will be given and there will then be an appeal hearing,” the court said in a written judgment.

If the assurances are given, there will be a further hearing in May to decide if the assurances are satisfactory, before a final decision on leave to appeal, it said.

This is a breaking story and will be updated.

If he'd faced his charges he would have been out years ago. He deserves to be locked up just because he thinks the rules don't apply to him. .

UK justice system is corrupt beyond redemption

He didn't win. The corrupt UK judicial system just extended his detention to 20 May for another hearing.

Quote:

Court adjourns Assange’s extradition case until May
The UK High Court has ruled that Assange can’t immediately be extradited to the US on espionage charges, in a partial victory for the WikiLeaks founder.

The case has been adjourned until May 20.

The judges said they would grant Assange a new appeal unless US authorities give further assurances about what will happen to him.

The ruling means the legal saga, which has dragged on for more than a decade, will continue.

I can't understand why after 5 years of solitary confinement
the courts still haven't made a decision?

Why is he being kept in such inhumane conditions?
