"UK Court Delays Julian Assange's Extradition to US Pending Further Assurances"

A British court ruled that Julian Assange cannot be extradited to the United States on espionage charges unless U.S. authorities guarantee he won’t face the death penalty, granting him a partial victory in his legal battle. The ruling means the legal saga will continue, and Assange will remain in London’s high-security Belmarsh Prison. The judges accepted three grounds for appeal, including the risk of Assange receiving the death penalty, and said a hearing will be held on May 20 if the U.S. provides further assurances.
