"UK Court Grants Julian Assange Temporary Reprieve from US Extradition"

The High Court in London has delayed Julian Assange's immediate extradition to the US, giving the US three weeks to provide assurances regarding his First Amendment rights and protection from the death penalty. The ruling potentially allows Assange to appeal his extradition in May. The court found that Assange has a "real prospect of success" on several grounds, including freedom of expression and adequate death penalty protection. Assange's wife called him a "political prisoner" and urged the Biden administration to drop the case. US authorities have been seeking Assange's extradition on espionage charges related to the publication of secret military documents.
