"UK Court Delays Assange Extradition to US, Australia Urged to Secure Release"

The U.K.'s High Court has delayed the extradition of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to the U.S., giving American authorities three weeks to provide assurances that he would receive a fair trial and not face the death penalty. Assange, facing espionage charges for publishing classified U.S. government documents, remains in legal limbo in a London prison. His lawyers argue that the case is politically motivated and an assault on press freedom, while U.S. officials maintain that he endangered lives with the leaks.
