Julian Assange Granted Appeal Against US Extradition By London Court

London High Court hands down Julian Assange appeal ruling

In a recent development, the London High Court has granted WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange permission to appeal against his extradition to the United States. Assange is seeking to avoid facing espionage charges in America, where he could potentially be sentenced to 175 years in prison if convicted.

Julian Assange has been residing in the UK since 2012, following accusations of publishing thousands of classified documents related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan back in 2010. His extradition to the US was initially blocked in 2021, and now he has been given the opportunity to appeal this decision.
