Assange to challenge US assurances regarding his prospective trial
Julian Assange, the founder of Wikileaks, has been granted permission by the High Court to appeal against his extradition to the US.
The decision allows Assange to challenge US assurances regarding his prospective trial and potential infringement on his freedom of speech.
•Assange's lawyers embraced in court following the ruling, asserting that the case against him is politically motivated.
The senior judges granted permission for a full appeal in the UK, considering that Assange has resisted extradition for over a decade since Wikileaks published confidential US documents in 2010 and 2011.
