British High Court

The British High Court of Justice decided to allow whistleblower and WikiLeaks founder and publisher Julian Assange leave to appeal his extradition to the United States. Binoy Kampmark reports.

Stella Assange criticised the United States for raising hope and then limiting itself to “blatant weasel words”, claiming that Julian Assange can “seek to raise” the First Amendment if extradited. Binoy Kampmark reports.

Binoy Kampmark writes that caution should be exercised in response to the US President's remarks on WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's case. Nothing should be considered in earnest until signatures are inked and dried.

The British High Court did not make a clear decision on whether it would reject Julian Assange's appeal. Instead, it decided to grant the United States government the possibility to make amends. Binoy Kampmark reports.
